Faarfannaa 48
1 Weedduu. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Magaalaa Waaqa keenyaa keessatti, tulluu isaa qulqulluu irrattis, Waaqayyo guddaa dha; waan hundaa olittis galanni isaaf mala.
A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

8 Akkuma dhageenye sana, magaalaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu keessatti, magaalaa Waaqa keenyaa keessatti, akkasuma argineerra; Waaqni bara baraan jabeessee ishee dhaaba.
As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. (Pause)

We have thought of your mercy, O God, in the midst of your people.

According to your name, O God, so is also your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.
