Psalms 56

1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Gugee Qilxuu Fagoo irraa” jedhuun faarfatame. Miiktaamii Faarfannaa Daawit. Innis yeroo Filisxeemonni Gaati keessatti isa qaban faarfate. Yaa Waaqi na maari; diinonni koo akka malee na ariʼu; guyyaa guutuus na cunqursu.

2 My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na gaadu; namoonni baayʼeen of tuulummaadhaan na lolu.

3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.

4 In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqa nan amanadha; homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni duʼa hin oolle maal na gochuu dandaʼa?

5 All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

Isaan guyyaa guutuu dubbii koo micciiru; na miidhuudhaafis yeroo hunda natti malatu.

6 They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.

Isaan ni mariʼatu; ni riphus; lubbuu koo galaafachuuf jedhanii tarkaanfii koo eeggatu.

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

Sababii hammina isaaniitiif akka isaan miliqan hin godhin; yaa Waaqi, dheekkamsa keetiin saboota gad deebisi.

8 Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?

Gadadamu koo galmeessi; imimmaan koos kitaaba kee keessatti barreessi; isaan galmee kee keessa jiru mitii?

9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.

Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhutti, diinonni koo dugda duuba deebiʼu. Anis kanaan akka Waaqni na wajjin jiru beeka.

10 In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.

Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqayyo ani dubbii isaa jajadhu,

11 In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Waaqa nan amanadha; ani homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni maal na gochuu dandaʼa?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.

Yaa Waaqi wareegni kee narra jira; aarsaa galataas siif nan dhiʼeessa.

13 For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Akka ani fuula Waaqaa dura, ifa jireenyaa keessa deddeebiʼuuf, ati lubbuu koo duʼa jalaa, miilla koos gufachuu oolchiteertaatii.
