Psalms 64

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.

2 You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.

Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.

3 For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,

Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.

4 so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.

Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.

5 They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, “Who will see them?”

Kaayyoo jalʼinaa irratti wal jajjabeessu; waaʼee dhoksanii kiyyoo kaaʼuus ni mariʼatu; “Eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa?” jedhaniis ni yaadu.

6 They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,

Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.

7 and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,

Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.

8 and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;

Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.

9 and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.

Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.

10 The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.

Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.
