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 Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

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

Hear my prayer, 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 have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

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

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

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

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, 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 out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
