< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
Miktamu ti Dafidi. Pa mí mọ́, Ọlọ́run, nítorí nínú rẹ ni ààbò mi wà.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
Mo sọ fún Olúwa, “Ìwọ ni Olúwa mi, lẹ́yìn rẹ èmi kò ní ìre kan.”
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
Sí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà ní ayé, àwọn ni ológo nínú èyí tí ayọ̀ mí wà.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
Ìṣòro àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì yóò pọ̀ sí i, àní àwọn tí ń tọ ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn. Ẹbọ ohun mímu ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn ni èmi kì yóò ta sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kì yóò dá orúkọ wọn lẹ́nu mi.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Olúwa, ni ìpín ìní mi tí mo yàn àti ago mi, ó ti pa ohun tí í ṣe tèmi mọ́.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Okùn ààlà ilẹ̀ ti bọ́ sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní ibi dídára; nítòótọ́ mo ti ní ogún rere.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
Èmi yóò yin Olúwa, ẹni tí ó gbà mí ní ìyànjú; ní òru, ọkàn mí ń bá mi sọ̀rọ̀.
8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Mo ti gbé Olúwa síwájú mi ní ìgbà gbogbo. Nítorí tí ó wà ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi, a kì yóò mì mí.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Nítorí èyí, ọkàn mi yọ̀, ahọ́n mi pẹ̀lú ń fò fáyọ̀; ara mi pẹ̀lú yóò sinmi ní ààbò,
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
nítorí ìwọ kò ní fi ọ̀kan sílẹ̀ nínú isà òkú, tàbí kí ìwọ jẹ́ kí ẹni mímọ́ rẹ kí ó rí ìdíbàjẹ́. (Sheol )
11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Ìwọ ti fi ipa ọ̀nà ìyè hàn mí; Ìwọ yóò kún mi pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ní iwájú rẹ, pẹ̀lú ìdùnnú ayérayé ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ.
