Psalms 140
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa, gbà mi lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin búburú u nì, yọ mí lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin ìkà a nì,
2 Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.
ẹni tí ń ro ìwà búburú ní inú wọn; nígbà gbogbo ni wọ́n ń rú ìjà sókè sí mi.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Wọ́n ti pọ́n ahọ́n wọn bí ejò, oró paramọ́lẹ̀ ń bẹ ní abẹ́ ètè wọn.
4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
Olúwa, pa mí mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú; yọ mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin ìkà a nì ẹni tí ó ti pinnu rẹ̀ láti bi ìrìn mi ṣubú.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)
Àwọn agbéraga ti dẹkùn sílẹ̀ fún mi àti okùn: wọ́n ti na àwọ̀n lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà; wọ́n ti kẹ́kùn sílẹ̀ fún mi.
6 I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
Èmi wí fún Olúwa pé ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi; Olúwa, gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi.
7 Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Olúwa Olódùmarè, agbára ìgbàlà mi, ìwọ ni ó bo orí mi mọ́lẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìjà.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)
Olúwa, máa ṣe fi ìfẹ́ ènìyàn búburú fún un; má ṣe kún ọgbọ́n búburú rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́; kí wọn kí ó máa ba à gbé ara wọn ga. (Sela)
9 [As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Bí ó ṣe ti orí àwọn tí ó yí mi káàkiri ni, jẹ́ kí ète ìka ara wọn kí ó bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀.
10 Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
A ó da ẹ̀yin iná sí wọn lára, Òun yóò wọ́ wọn lọ sínú iná, sínú ọ̀gbun omi jíjìn, kí wọn kí ó má ba à le dìde mọ́.
11 Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí aláhọ́n búburú fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ ní ayé; ibi ni yóò máa dọdẹ ọkùnrin ìkà nì láti bì í ṣubú.
12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
Èmi mọ̀ pé, Olúwa yóò mú ọ̀nà olùpọ́njú dúró, yóò sì ṣe ẹ̀tọ́ fún àwọn tálákà.
13 Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Nítòótọ́ àwọn olódodo yóò máa fi ọpẹ́ fún orúkọ rẹ; àwọn ẹni dídúró ṣinṣin yóò máa gbé iwájú rẹ.
