Psalms 28
1 Of David. My cry goes up to you, O Lord, my Rock; do not keep back your answer from me, so that I may not become like those who go down into the underworld.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, Kattaa ko, ani sin waammadha; ati na jalaa hin didin. Yoo ati na jalaa didde, ani akka warra boolla buʼanii nan taʼa.
2 Give ear to the voice of my prayer, when I am crying to you, when my hands are lifted up to your holy place.
Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhee harka koo illee gara Iddoo Qulqullummaa kee kan Waan Hundumaa Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe sanaatti ol kaafadhu, sagalee kadhannaa koo naa dhagaʼi.
3 Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.
Namoota hamoo warra jalʼina hojjetan wajjin, warra garaa isaaniitti hammina qabatanii olloota isaanii wajjin garuu nagaa dubbatan wajjin na hin balleessin.
4 Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.
Akka hojii isaaniitti, akkuma hojii isaanii hamaa sanaattis deebisiif; akkuma hojii harka isaaniitti kenniif; gatii isaaniif malu isaanumatti deebisi.
5 Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.
Sababii isaan hojii Waaqayyoo, yookaan waan harki isaa hojjete hin kabajneef inni isaan diiga; deebisees isaan hin ijaaru.
6 May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.
Waaqayyo haa eebbifamu! Inni iyya kadhannaa kootii naa dhagaʼeeraatii.
7 The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.
Waaqayyo jabina koo fi gaachana koo ti; garaan koo isa amanata; anis gargaarsa argadheera. Garaan koo baayʼee gammada; anis faarfannaadhaan isa nan galateeffadha.
8 The Lord is their strength, and a strong place of salvation for his king.
Waaqayyo jabina saba isaa ti; dibamaa isaatiifis daʼoo fayyinaa ti.
9 Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
Saba kee fayyisi; dhaala kees eebbisi; tiksee isaanii taʼii bara baraan isaan baadhu.
