Psalms 56

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God, for men are hounding me; all day they press their attack.

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 pursue me all day long, for many proudly assail me.

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

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.

4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

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

5 All day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are on my demise.

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

6 They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.

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

7 In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.

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

8 You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle— are they not in Your book?

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

9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day I cry for help. By this I will know that God is on my side.

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

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,

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

11 in God I 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 Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

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

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

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