Psalms 40
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Mo fi pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́ dúró de Olúwa; ó sì dẹtí sí mi, ó sì gbọ́ ẹkún mi.
2 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
Ó fà mí yọ gòkè láti inú ihò ìparun, láti inú ẹrẹ̀ pọ̀tọ̀pọ́tọ̀, ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ mi lé orí àpáta, ó sì jẹ́ kí ìgbésẹ̀ mi wà láìfòyà.
3 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
Ó fi orin tuntun sí mi lẹ́nu, àní orin ìyìn sí Ọlọ́run wa. Ọ̀pọ̀ yóò rí i wọn yóò sì bẹ̀rù, wọn yóò sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
4 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
Ayọ̀ ni fún àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ó fi Olúwa ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn tí wọn kò sì yípadà sí agbéraga, tàbí àwọn tí ó yapa lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọlọ́run mìíràn.
5 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí ìwọ ti ṣe. Àwọn ohun tí ìwọ ti ṣètò sílẹ̀ fún wa; ni ẹnikẹ́ni kò le kà wọ́n fún ọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, tí èmi yóò sì sọ̀rọ̀ wọn, wọ́n ju ohun tí ènìyàn le è kà lọ.
6 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
Ẹbọ àti ẹran ẹbọ ni ìwọ kò fẹ́, ìwọ ti ṣí mi ní etí. Ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò béèrè.
7 Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
Nígbà náà ni mo wí pé, “Èmi nìyí; nínú ìwé kíká ni a kọ ọ nípa tèmi wí pé.
8 That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
Mo ní inú dídùn láti ṣe ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ, ìwọ Ọlọ́run mi, òfin rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní àyà mi.”
9 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
Èmi ti sọ ìròyìn ayọ̀ ti ìgbàlà láàrín àwùjọ ńlá; wò ó, èmi kò pa ètè mi mọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti mọ̀, ìwọ Olúwa.
10 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
Èmi kò fi ìrànlọ́wọ́ ìgbàlà sin ní àyà mi; èmí ti sọ̀rọ̀ nípa òtítọ́ àti ìgbàlà rẹ. Èmi kò sì pa ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti òtítọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò láàrín àwọn ìjọ ńlá.
11 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
Ìwọ má ṣe, fa àánú rẹ tí ó rọ́nú sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi Olúwa; jẹ́ kí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ àti òtítọ́ rẹ kí ó máa pa mi mọ́ títí ayérayé.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
Nítorí pé àìníye ibi ni ó yí mi káàkiri, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi sì dì mọ́ mi, títí tí èmi kò fi ríran mọ́; wọ́n pọ̀ ju irun orí mi lọ, àti wí pé àyà mí ti kùnà.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
Jẹ́ kí ó wù ọ́, ìwọ Olúwa, láti gbà mí là; Olúwa, yára láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
14 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì ni kí ojú kí ó tì kí wọn kí ó sì dààmú; àwọn tí ń wá ọkàn mi láti parun jẹ́ kí a lé wọn padà sẹ́yìn kí a sì dójútì wọ́n, àwọn tí ń wá ìpalára mi.
15 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
Jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó wí fún mi pé, “Háà! Háà!” ó di ẹni à fi ọwọ́ rọ́ sẹ́yìn nítorí ìtìjú wọn.
16 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
Jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ń wá ọ kí ó máa yọ̀ kí inú wọn sì máa dùn sí ọ; kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó sì fẹ́ ìgbàlà rẹ kí o máa wí nígbà gbogbo pé, “Gbígbéga ni Olúwa!”
17 But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
Bí ó ṣe ti èmi ni, tálákà àti aláìní ni èmi, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ń ṣe ìrántí mi. Ìwọ ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ mi àti ìgbàlà mi; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó pẹ́, ìwọ Ọlọ́run mi.
