Sabuurradii 123

1 Kaaga samooyinka dhex fadhiyow, Adigaan indhahayga kor kuugu taagaa.

A song of degrees. I lift vp mine eyes to thee, that dwellest in the heauens.

2 Bal eeg, sida ay indhaha addoommadu u fiiriyaan gacanta sayidkooda, Iyo sida ay gabadh indhaheedu u fiiriyaan gacanta sayidaddeeda Ayay indhahayagu u fiiriyaan Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, Ilaa uu noo naxariisto.

Behold, as the eyes of seruants looke vnto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hand of her mistres: so our eyes waite vpon the Lord our God vntil he haue mercie vpon vs.

3 Rabbiyow, noo naxariiso, annaga noo naxariiso, Waayo, waxaa aad nooga buuxda quudhsasho.

Haue mercie vpon vs, O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs: for we haue suffered too much contempt.

4 Naftayadii waxaa aad uga batay Qosolka kuwa istareexsan Iyo quudhsashadii kuwa kibirsan.

Our soule is filled too full of ye mocking of the wealthy, and of the despitefulnes of the proude.
