1 Dawuda ya rera wannan waƙa ga Ubangiji, sa’ad da Ubangiji ya cece shi daga hannun dukan abokan gābansa, da kuma daga hannun Shawulu.
After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
2 Ya ce, “Ubangiji shi ne dutsena, kagarata da kuma mai cetona;
[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
3 Allahna shi ne dutsena. A gare shi nake samun kāriya shi ne garkuwata da kuma ƙahon cetona. Shi ne mafakata, maɓuyata, da mai cetona. Daga mutane masu fitina, ka cece ni.
Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
4 “Na kira ga Ubangiji, wanda ya cancanci yabo, na kuwa tsira daga abokan gābana.
I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
5 Raƙumar ruwan mutuwa sun kewaye ni; raƙumar ruwan hallaka suna cin ƙarfina.
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
7 “A cikin wahalata na yi kira ga Ubangiji; na yi kira ga Allahna. Daga cikin haikalinsa ya saurare muryata; kukata ta zo kunnensa.
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
8 Ƙasa ta yi rawa ta kuma girgiza, harsashan sararin sama sun jijjigu; suka yi makyarkyata saboda yana fushi.
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
9 Hayaƙi ya taso daga kafaffen hancinsa; harshen wuta mai cinyewa daga bakinsa, garwashi mai ƙuna daga bakinsa.
[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
10 Ya buɗe sararin sama, ya sauko ƙasa, girgije mai duhu suna ƙarƙashin ƙafafunsa.
You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
11 Ya hau kerubobi, ya tashi sama; ya yi firiya a fikafikan iska.
You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
12 Ya mai da duhu abin rufuwarsa gizagizai masu kauri cike da ruwa suka kewaye shi.
The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
13 Daga cikin hasken gabansa garwashi wuta mai ci ya yi walƙiya.
Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
14 Ubangiji ya yi tsawa daga sararin sama; aka ji muryar Mafi Ɗaukaka.
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
15 Ya harbe kibiyoyi, ya wartsar da abokan gāba, da walƙiya kuma ya sa suka gudu.
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
16 Aka bayyana kwarin teku, tushen duniya suka tonu. A tsawatawar Ubangiji, da numfashinsa mai ƙarfi daga hancinsa.
Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 “Daga sama ya miƙo hannu ya ɗauke ni, ya tsamo ni daga zurfafa ruwaye.
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
18 Ya kuɓutar da ni daga hannun abokin gāba mai iko, daga maƙiyina da suka fi ƙarfina.
You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.

They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
20 Ya fito da ni, ya kai ni wuri mafi fāɗi; ya kuɓutar da ni gama yana jin daɗina.
You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
21 “Ubangiji ya sāka mini bisa ga adalcina; bisa ga tsabtar hannuwana ya sāka mini.
“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
22 Gama na kiyaye hanyoyin Ubangiji; ban yi wani mugun abu da zai juyar da ni daga Allahna ba.
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
23 Dukan dokokinsa suna a gabana; ban ƙi ko ɗaya daga umarnansa ba.
All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
24 Ba ni da laifi a gabansa na kiyaye kaina daga yin zunubi.
You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
25 Ubangiji ya sāka mini bisa ga adalcina bisa ga tsarkina a gabansa.
So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
26 “Ga masu aminci, kakan nuna kanka mai aminci, ga marasa laifi, kakan nuna kanka marar laifi,
“Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.

29 Ya Ubangiji kai ne fitilata; Ubangiji ya mai da duhuna haske.
Yahweh, you are [like] [MET] a lamp that causes it to become light when I am in the dark.
30 Da taimakonka zan iya auka wa rundunar sojoji; tare da Allahna zan iya hawan katanga.
With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
31 “Ga Allah dai, hanyarsa cikakkiya ce; maganar Ubangiji babu kuskure. Shi garkuwa ce ga waɗanda suka nemi mafaka a gare shi.
“My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.

36 Ka ba ni garkuwar nasararka; ka sauko don ka sa in sami girma.
[It is as though] [MET] you have given me a shield by which you have saved/rescued me, and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous/great.

I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.

“You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).

Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.

You enable me to conquer my enemies; you cause people of [other] nations to be (under my authority/my slaves).
