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 him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

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

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes 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 are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

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

He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

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

Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

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

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
