Faarfannaa 138

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani garaa koo guutuudhaan sin galateeffadha; fuula “waaqotaa” durattis galata kee nan faarfadha.

A psalm of David. I thank you with my whole being; I sing your praises before the heavenly beings.

2 Sababii ati maqaa keetii fi dubbii kee waan hundaa olitti guddifteef, ani sababii jaalalaa fi amanamummaa keetiitiif gara mana qulqullummaa kee qulqullichaatti gad jedhee, maqaa kee nan leellisa.

I bow down before your holy Temple, and I am thankful because of who you are—for your trustworthy love and faithfulness—and for the fact that your promises are even greater than what people expect of you.

3 Yeroo ani si waammadhetti ati deebii naa kennite; irree keetiinis na jabeessite.

On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.

4 Yaa Waaqayyo, mootonni lafaa hundinuu, yeroo dubbii afaan keetii dhagaʼanitti si haa leellisan.

All the kings of the earth will praise you, Lord, for they have heard what you have said.

5 Ulfinni Waaqayyoo, guddaadhaatii, isaan waaʼee karaa Waaqayyoo haa faarfatan.

They will sing about what the Lord has done and about the great glory of the Lord.

6 Waaqayyo yoo ol fagoo jiraate iyyuu, nama gad qabame ni ilaala; nama of tuulu immoo fagootti beeka.

Though the Lord is high above, he pays attention to the lowly; but he recognizes the proud a long way off.

7 Ani rakkina keessa jiraadhu iyyuu, ati lubbuu koo ni eegda; aarii diina kootti harka kee ni diriirsita; harka kee mirgaatiinis na oolchita.

Even though I walk into a great deal of trouble, you protect me. You reach out to defend me from the anger of those who hate me—your strong hand saves me.

8 Waaqayyo kaayyoo isaa fiixaan naa baasa; yaa Waaqayyo, jaalalli kee bara baraan jiraata; hojii harka keetii hin gatin.

The Lord vindicates me! Lord, your trustworthy love lasts forever! Don't give up on what you have made!
