Sabuurradii 123

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

A Song of Ascents. Unto thee, have I lifted up mine eyes, O thou who art enthroned in the heavens.

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.

Lo! as the eyes of men-servants are unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid-servant, unto the hand of her mistress, so, are our eyes, unto Yahweh our God, until that he show us favour.

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

Show us favour, O Yahweh, show us favour, for, exceedingly, are we sated with contempt:

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

Exceeding sated therewith, is our soul, —The scorn of the careless, The contempt of the proud.
