Psalms 27

1 Jehovah is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?

Ti Dafidi. Olúwa ni ìmọ́lẹ̀ mi àti ìgbàlà mi; ta ni èmi yóò bẹ̀rù? Olúwa ni ibi ìsádi ẹ̀mí mi, ẹ̀rù ta ni yóò bà mí?

2 When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn búburú kọjú ìjà sí mi láti jẹ ẹran-ara mi, àní àwọn ọ̀tá mi àti àwọn abínúkú mi, wọn yóò kọsẹ̀, wọn yóò sì ṣubú.

3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

Bí ọmọ-ogun tilẹ̀ yí mi ká tí wọ́n sì dìde sí mi, ọkàn mi kì yóò bẹ̀rù; bí ogun tilẹ̀ dìde sí mi, nínú èyí ni ọkàn mi yóò le.

4 One thing I have asked of Jehovah, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple.

Ohun kan ni mo béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, òhun ni èmi yóò máa wá kiri: kí èmi kí ó le wà ní ilé Olúwa ní ọjọ́ ayé mi gbogbo, kí èmi: kí ó le kíyèsi ẹwà Olúwa, kí èmi kí ó sì máa wà ní tẹmpili rẹ̀.

5 For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up upon a rock.

Nítorí pé ní ìgbà ìpọ́njú òun yóò pa mí mọ́ nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀; níbi ìkọ̀kọ̀ àgọ́ rẹ̀ ni òun yóò pa mí mọ́; yóò sì gbé mi sókè lórí àpáta.

6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Jehovah.

Ní ìsinsin yìí, a ti gbé orí mi sókè ga ju ti àwọn ọ̀tá mi lọ tí ó yí mí ká; èmi yóò rú ẹbọ nínú àgọ́ rẹ, ẹbọ ariwo àti ti ayọ̀; èmi yóò kọrin àní orin dídùn sí Olúwa.

7 Hear, O Jehovah, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Gbọ́ ohùn mi nígbà tí ẹ̀mí bá à ń pè, Olúwa, ṣe àánú fún mi kí o sì dá mi lóhùn,

8 My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O Jehovah, I will seek thy face.

Ọkàn mi wí pé, “Wá ojú u rẹ̀!” Ojú rẹ, Olúwa, ni ti èmí ń wá.

9 Hide not thy face from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Má ṣe fi ojú rẹ pamọ́ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, má ṣe fi ìbínú sá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tì; ìwọ tí o ti jẹ́ olùrànlọ́wọ́ mi, Má ṣe fi mí sílẹ̀, má sì ṣe kọ̀ mí, háà! Ọlọ́run ìgbàlà mi.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Jehovah will take me up.

Bí ìyá àti baba bá kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, Olúwa yóò tẹ́wọ́ gbà mí.

11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies.

Kọ́ mi ní ọ̀nà rẹ, Olúwa, kí o sì sìn mi lọ sí ọ̀nà tí ó tẹ́jú nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi.

12 Deliver me not over to the will of my adversaries. For false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Má ṣe fi mí lé ìfẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi lọ́wọ́, nítorí àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí èké ti dìde sí mi, wọ́n sì mí ìmí ìkà.

13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living.

Èmi ní ìgbàgbọ́ pé, èmi yóò rí ìre Olúwa ní ilẹ̀ alààyè.

14 Wait for Jehovah. Be strong, and let thy heart take courage. Yea, wait thou for Jehovah.

Dúró de Olúwa; kí ó jẹ alágbára, kí o sì mú ọkàn le àní dúró de Olúwa.
