Faarfannaa 54

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa ribuutiin. Maskiilii Daawit. Yeroo warri Ziif Saaʼol bira dhaqanii, “Daawit nu gidduu dhokatee jira” jedhanitti faarfatame. Yaa Waaqi, maqaa keetiin na fayyisi; humna keetiinis naa murteessi.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

2 Yaa Waaqi, kadhannaa koo naa dhagaʼi, dubbii afaan kootiis dhaggeeffadhu.

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Keessumoonni natti kaʼaniiruutii; warri garaa namaa hin laafne lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadu; Isaanis warra Waaqaaf ulfina hin kenninee dha.

For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.

4 Kunoo, Waaqni gargaaraa koo ti; Gooftaan jiraachisaa lubbuu koo ti.

Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

5 Hamminni warra maqaa na balleessanii isaanumatti haa deebiʼu; atis amanamummaa keetiin isaan balleessi.

He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

6 Ani fedhii kootiin aarsaa siif dhiʼeessa; yaa Waaqayyo, ani maqaa kee nan galateeffadha; inni gaariidhaatii.

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

7 Inni dhiphina koo hundumaa keessaa na baaseeraatii; iji koos ol aantummaadhaan diinota koo of jalatti ilaaleera.

For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
