Psalms 70

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Ẹ̀bẹ̀. Yára, Ọlọ́run, láti gbà mí là, Olúwa, wá kánkán láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.

2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

Kí àwọn tí ń wá ọkàn mi kí a dójútì wọ́n, kí wọn sì dààmú; kí àwọn tó ń wá ìparun mi yí ẹ̀yìn padà nínú ìtìjú.

3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

Kí a pa wọ́n ní ẹ̀yìn dà fún èrè ìtìjú àwọn tí ń wí pé, “Háà! Háà!”

4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

Ṣùgbọ́n kí àwọn tí ó ń wá ọ ó máa yọ̀ kí inú wọn kí ó sì máa dùn nípa rẹ, kí àwọn tí ó ń fẹ́ ìgbàlà rẹ máa wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a gbé Ọlọ́run ga!”

5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!

Ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ́ òtòṣì àti aláìní; wa kánkán sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, Ọlọ́run. Ìwọ ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ àti olùdáǹdè mi; Olúwa, má ṣe dúró pẹ́.
