Psalms 27
1 A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
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 evil people come at me to tear me apart, it's my enemies, those who are against me, they're the ones who trip and fall.
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 Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.
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 I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about 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 When troubles come he will protect me and keep me safe, hiding me in his house, as secure as if he'd placed me on a high 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 He will hold my head high over my enemies who are all around me. I shall offer sacrifices in his house with shouts of joy, and I will sing praises to the Lord.
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 Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious 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 You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.
Ọkàn mi wí pé, “Wá ojú u rẹ̀!” Ojú rẹ, Olúwa, ni ti èmí ń wá.
9 Don't refuse to talk to me. Don't be angry with your servant and turn away. You are the one who helps me, so please don't reject me and abandon me, 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 Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.
Bí ìyá àti baba bá kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, Olúwa yóò tẹ́wọ́ gbà mí.
11 Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—
Kọ́ mi ní ọ̀nà rẹ, Olúwa, kí o sì sìn mi lọ sí ọ̀nà tí ó tẹ́jú nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi.
12 don't hand me over to them and their evil intentions, for they are making false accusations against me and threatening me with violence.
Má ṣe fi mí lé ìfẹ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi lọ́wọ́, nítorí àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí èké ti dìde sí mi, wọ́n sì mí ìmí ìkà.
13 However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.
Èmi ní ìgbàgbọ́ pé, èmi yóò rí ìre Olúwa ní ilẹ̀ alààyè.
14 Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!
Dúró de Olúwa; kí ó jẹ alágbára, kí o sì mú ọkàn le àní dúró de Olúwa.
