Sabuurradii 61

1 Ilaahow, qayladayda maqal, Oo baryadaydana dhegta u dhig.

To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

2 Markii qalbigaygu itaal darnaado, waxaan kaaga qayshan doonaa darafka dhulka ugu shisheeya, Ii hoggaami dhagaxa iga dheer.

From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

3 Waayo, waxaad ii ahayd magangal, Iyo qalcad adag oo aan cadowga ka galo.

For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

4 Anigu weligayba waxaan degganaan doonaa taambuuggaaga, Oo waxaan magangeli doonaa baalashaada meeshooda qarsoon. (Selaah)

I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Waayo, Ilaahow, nidarradaydii waad maqashay, Oo waxaad i siisay kuwa magacaaga ka cabsada dhaxalkooda.

For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

6 Boqorka noloshiisa waad dheeraynaysaa, Oo cimrigiisuna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida qarniyo badan.

Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

7 Oo weligiisba wuxuu joogi doonaa Ilaah hortiisa, Raxmad iyo run u diyaari, inay isaga dhawraan.

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

8 Markaasaan weligayba magacaaga ammaan ugu gabyi doonaa, Si aan maalin kasta nidarradayda u oofiyo.

So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.
