Faarfannaa 68
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Waaqni haa kaʼu; diinonni isaas haa bittinnaaʼan; warri isa jibbanis fuula isaa duraa haa baqatan.
“To the chief musician, by David, a Psalm or song.” Oh that God would arise, that his enemies might be scattered, and those that hate him might flee before him.
2 Akkuma aarri bittinnaaʼu, ati isaan bittinneessi; akkuma gagaan ibidda duratti baqu, hamoonni fuula Waaqaa duraa haa badan.
As smoke is driven off, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Qajeelonni garuu haa gammadan; fuula Waaqaa durattis baayʼee haa gammadan; isaan gammachuudhaan haa ililchan.
But the righteous shall rejoice; they shall exult before God: yea, they shall be exceedingly joyful.
4 Waaqaaf faarfadhaa; faarfannaa galataa maqaa isaatiif faarfadhaa; isa duumessaan gulufu sana jajadhaa; maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo dha; fuula isaa durattis baayʼee gammadaa.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name; extol him who rideth upon the heavens: the Everlasting is his name, and rejoice before him.
5 Waaqni warra abbaa hin qabneef abbaa, niitota dhirsoonni irraa duʼaniifis falmaa taʼe sun iddoo jireenya isaa qulqulluu keessa jira.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Waaqni warra kophaa taʼan maatii keessa jiraachisa; warra hidhamanis mana hidhaatii baasa; finciltoonni garuu lafa gogaa irra jiraatu.
God places those who are solitary in the midst of their families: he bringeth out those who are bound unto happiness; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst tread along through the wilderness—Selah—
8 fuula Waaqaa, Waaqa Siinaa duratti, fuula Waaqaa, Waaqa Israaʼel duratti, lafti ni raafamte; samiiwwanis bokkaa roobsan.
The earth quaked, also the heavens dropped at the presence of God, yea, this Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Rain of beneficence didst thou pour down, O God, whereby thou didst truly strengthen thy heritage, when it was weary.

When ye lie still between the folds [of your cattle], [ye will be like] the wings of the dove covered with sliver, and her pinions shining with flaming gold.
14 Yommuu Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu mootota achitti bittinneessetti, Zalmoon irratti cabbiin buʼe.
When the Almighty scattered kings in the midst of her, then even in darkness shone light [as pure] as snow.
15 Yaa tulluu Baashaan, yaa tulluu surra qabeessa, yaa Tulluu Baashaan, yaa tulluu fiixee baayʼee qabu,
A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.
16 yaa tulluu fiixee baayʼee qabdu, ati maaliif tulluu Waaqni bulchuuf filate, iddoo Waaqayyo bara baraan jiraatu sana hinaaffaadhaan ilaalta?
Why watch ye enviously, ye many-peaked mountains, yonder mountain which God hath chosen for his residence? yea, the Lord will also dwell [there] for ever.

Our God is to us the God of salvation: and by the Eternal the Lord are the escapes from death.
