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.

To the chief music-maker; on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. When the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is not David keeping himself secret among us? Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

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

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear 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 men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah)

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

See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

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

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

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

Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to 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.

Because it has been my saviour from all my trouble; and my eyes have seen the punishment of my haters.
