1 A nswer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Ilaaha xaqnimadaydow, markii aan ku baryo i maqal, Markii aan cidhiidhi ku jirayba meel baad ii bannaysay, Ii naxariiso oo baryadayda maqal.

2 Y ou sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah.

Binu-aadmigow, ilaa goormaa sharaftaydu sharafjab u rogmanaysaa? Ilaa goormaad wax aan micne lahayn jeclaanaysaan? Oo ilaa goormaad been doondoonaysaan? (Selaah)

3 B ut know that Yahweh has set apart for himself him who is godly: Yahweh will hear when I call to him.

Laakiinse ogaada in Rabbigu gooni ahaan isugu soocay kii cibaado leh, Rabbigu wuu maqli doonaa markii aan u yeedho isaga.

4 S tand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

Cadhooda oo ha dembaabina, Qalbigiinna la hadla markii aad sariirtiinna ku jiiftaan, oo aamusa. (Selaah)

5 O ffer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

Bixiya allabaryadii xaqnimada, Oo Rabbiga isku halleeya.

6 M any say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

Waxaa jira kuwo badan oo yidhaahda, Bal yaa wanaag na tusaya? Rabbiyow, iftiinka wejigaaga nagu ifi.

7 Y ou have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

Waxaad qalbigayga gelisay farxad Ka sii badan tan ay helaan markii hadhuudhkooda iyo khamrigoodu ay kordhaan.

8 I n peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety.

Nabad baan ku jiifsanayaa oo aan ku seexanayaa, Waayo, Rabbiyow, adigoo keliya ayaa ammaan igu bariiya.
