Psalms 57
1 “For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.” Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Hin balleessin” jedhuun faarfatame. Faarfannaa Daawit. Miiktaamii. Innis yeroo Saaʼol jalaa baqatee holqatti galee faarfate. Na maari; yaa Waaqa na maari; lubbuun koo sitti kooluu galtiitii. Anis hamma balaan darbutti, gaaddisa qoochoo keetii jalatti kooluu nan gala.
2 I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things for me;
Ani gara Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti, gara Waaqa haaloo naa baasuutti nan iyya.
3 He will send from heaven, and save me; He will put to shame him that panteth for my life; (Pause) God will send forth his mercy and his truth.
Inni samii irraa ergee na oolcha; warra akka malee na ariʼan ni ifata; Waaqni jaalala isaatii fi amanamummaa isaa ni erga.
4 My life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
Ani leencota gidduun jira; ani bineensota nama nyaatan, namoota ilkaan isaanii eeboo fi xiyyaa kanneen arrabni isaanii akka goraadee qaramaa gidduu ciiseera.
5 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
Isaanis kiyyoo miilla kootiif kaaʼan; lubbuun koos dhiphinaan gad gogdeerti. Isaan karaa koo irratti boolla qotan; garuu isaanumattu keessatti kufe.
7 My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
Yaa Waaqi, garaan koo hin raafamu; garaan koo hin raafamu; ani nan faarfadha; nan weeddisas.
8 Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
Yaa lubbuu ko, dammaqi! Yaa kiraaraa fi baganaa dammaqaa! Anis ganamaan nan dammaqa.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
Yaa Gooftaa, ani saboota gidduutti galata siif nan galcha; namoota gidduuttis waaʼee kee nan faarfadha.
10 For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
Jaalalli kee guddaa dha; samiiwwanis gaʼaatii; amanamummaan kees samiiwwan qaqqaba.
11 Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.
