1 T o the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.

Ilaahow, adaan kuu mahadnaqnaa, Waannu kuu mahadnaqnaa, waayo, magacaagu waa noo dhow yahay, Dadku waxay ka sheekeeyaan shuqulladaada yaabka badan.

2 W hen I receive an appointment, I -- I do judge uprightly.

Wakhtiga aan qawimay, Ayaan si qumman wax u xukumi doonaa.

3 M elted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I -- I have pondered its pillars. Selah.

Dhulka iyo waxa kor deggan oo dhammuba way wada dhalaaleen, Tiirarkiisa anigaa qotomiyey. (Selaah)

4 I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'

Kuwa kibirka leh waxaan ku idhi, Ha kibrina, Kuwa sharka lehna waxaan ku idhi, Geeskiinna kor ha u taagina,

5 R aise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

Geeskiinna kor ha u taagina, Oo madaxadayg ha ku hadlina.

6 F or not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness -- elevation.

Waayo, sarrayntu kama timaado xagga bari ama xagga galbeed, Ama xataa xagga koonfureed toona.

7 B ut God judge, This He maketh low -- and this He lifteth up.

Laakiinse Ilaah baa xaakin ah, Isagu mid buu dejiyaa, ku kalena wuu sarraysiiyaa.

8 F or a cup in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,

Waayo, Rabbiga gacantiisa waxaa ku jira koob, oo waxaa ka xumbaynaysa khamri, Oo waxaa ka buuxa wax laysku qooshay, oo kaasuu wax ka shubaa, Hubaal huubadiisa waxaa heenheensan doona oo cabbi doona dunida kuweeda sharka leh oo dhan.

9 A nd I -- I declare to the age, I sing praise to the God of Jacob.

Laakiinse anigu weligayba waan rayrayn doonaa, Oo waxaan ammaan ugu gabyi doonaa Ilaaha Yacquub.

10 A nd all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!

Oo weliba kuwa sharka leh geesahooda oo dhan waan wada jejebin doonaa, Laakiinse kuwa xaqa ah geesahooda waa la sarraysiin doonaa.
