Psalms 56

1 To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily 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 daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High.

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

3 What time I am afraid, I will 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 fear what flesh can do unto me.

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

5 Every day 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, when they wait for my soul.

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

7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God.

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

8 Thou tellest 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 When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back: 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 the LORD will I praise [his] word.

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

11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can 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 praises unto thee.

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

13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou deliver] 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.
