1 T o the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

Ilaahow, ii naxariiso, waayo dad baa waxay doonayaan inay i liqaan; Maalinta oo dhan isagoo diriraya ayuu i dulmaa.

2 M ine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many fighting against me, O most High,

Cadaawayaashaydu maalinta oo dhan waxay doonayaan inay i liqaan, Waayo, kuwa kibirka igula diriraa waa tiro badan yihiin.

3 T he day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

Markaan cabsado, Waan isku kaa hallaynayaa.

4 I n God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

Ilaah caawimaaddiisa ayaan eraygiisa ku ammaani doonaa, Waayo, Ilaah baan isku halleeyey, oo innaba baqi maayo, Haddaba bal binu-aadmigu muxuu igu samayn karaa?

5 A ll the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts for evil,

Maalinta oo dhan erayadayda way qalloociyaan, Fikirradooda oo dhammu waa igu col si ay shar iigu sameeyaan.

6 T hey assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Way isa soo wada urursadaan, oo way dhuuntaan, Oo waxay fiirsadaan tallaabooyinkayga, Markay gaadayaan naftayda.

7 B y iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

Iyagu ma xumaan bay ku baxsan doonaan? Ilaahow, dadyowga adoo cadhaysan hoos u tuur.

8 M y wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

Waad og tahay warwareeggayga, Bal ilmadayda qaruuraddaada ku shub, Waayo, miyaanay buuggaaga ku qorrayn?

9 T hen turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God for me.

Markaasaa cadaawayaashaydu dib u noqon doonaan maalinta aan kuu yeedho, Waayo, waxaan ogahay in Ilaah ila jiro.

10 I n God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

Ilaah caawimaaddiisa ayaan eraygiisa ku ammaani doonaa, Oo Rabbigana caawimaaddiisa ayaan eraygiisa ku ammaani doonaa.

11 I n God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

Ilaah baan isku halleeyey, oo innaba baqi maayo, Haddaba bal dad muxuu igu samayn karaa?

12 O n me, O God, Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

Ilaahow, nidarradaada waan qabaa, Oo waxaan kuu bixinayaa qurbaanno mahadnaqid ah.

13 F or Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

Waayo, naftaydaad ka samatabbixisay dhimasho, Sow cagahayga dhicitin kama aad samatabbixin? Inaan Ilaah hortiisa ku socdo Iftiinka kuwa nool.
