Kanu waa sabuur Daa'uud tiriyey markuu wiilkiisa Absaaloom ka cararay.

Rabbiyow, cadaawayaashaydu fara badanaa!
Kuwa igu kacaa aad bay u badan yihiin.
Way badan yihiin kuwa naftayda wax ka sheegaa, iyagoo leh,
Ilaah isaga caawin maayo. (Selaah)
Laakiinse, Rabbiyow, adigu waxaad tahay gaashaan igu wareegsan,
Iyo sharaftayda, iyo kan madaxayga kor u qaada.
Codkayga ayaan Rabbiga ugu qayliyaa,
Oo isaguna wuxuu iiga jawaabaa buurtiisa quduuska ah. (Selaah)
Anigu waan jiifsaday oo waan iska seexday,
Oo haddana waan soo toosay, waayo, Rabbiga ayaa i xannaaneeya.
Ka baqi maayo dadka kumanyaalkaa,
Oo gees kasta iga hareereeyey.
Kac, Rabbiyow, oo i badbaadi, Ilaahayow,
Waayo, cadaawayaashaydii oo dhan waxaad ku dhufatay dhabanka,
Oo kuwa sharka leh ilkahoodiina waad jejebisay.
Badbaado waxaa leh Rabbiga,
Barakadaadu dadkaaga ha ku soo degto. (Selaah)

Psalm 3[a]

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.(A)

Lord, how many are my foes!
    How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
    “God will not deliver him.(B)[b]

But you, Lord, are a shield(C) around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.(D)
I call out to the Lord,(E)
    and he answers me from his holy mountain.(F)

I lie down and sleep;(G)
    I wake again,(H) because the Lord sustains me.
I will not fear(I) though tens of thousands
    assail me on every side.(J)

Arise,(K) Lord!
    Deliver me,(L) my God!
Strike(M) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth(N) of the wicked.

From the Lord comes deliverance.(O)
    May your blessing(P) be on your people.

  2. Psalm 3:2 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 4 and 8.

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
