Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth 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 Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

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

3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.

4 In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto 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, because they wait 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 countest my wanderings; put 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 mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for 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 will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

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

11 In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

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

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

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

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] 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.
