Psalms 18
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa tí ó kọ sí Olúwa, ọ̀rọ̀ orin tí ó kọ sí Olúwa fún ìdáǹdè kúrò lọ́wọ́ Saulu ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Ó wí pé. Mo fẹ́ ọ, Olúwa, agbára mi.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
Olúwa ni àpáta àti odi mi, àti olùgbàlà mi; Ọlọ́run mi ni àpáta mi, ẹni tí mo fi ṣe ibi ìsádi mi. Òun ni àpáta ààbò àti ìwo ìgbàlà mi àti ibi ìsádi mi.
3 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
Mo ké pe Olúwa, ẹni tí ìyìn yẹ fún, a ó sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá à mi.
4 The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
Ìrora ikú yí mi kà, àti ìṣàn omi àwọn ènìyàn búburú dẹ́rùbà mí.
Okùn isà òkú yí mi ká, ìkẹ́kùn ikú dojúkọ mí. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
Nínú ìpọ́njú mo ké pe Olúwa; mo sọkún sí Olúwa mi fún ìrànlọ́wọ́. Láti inú tẹmpili rẹ̀, ó gbọ́ igbe mi; ẹkún mi wá sí iwájú rẹ̀, sí inú etí rẹ̀.
7 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
Ayé wárìrì, ó sì mì tìtì, ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn òkè gíga sì ṣídìí; wọ́n wárìrì nítorí tí ó ń bínú.
8 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
Èéfín ti ihò imú rẹ̀ jáde wá; iná ajónirun ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá, ẹ̀yin iná bú jáde láti inú rẹ̀.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
Ó pín àwọn ọ̀run, Ó sì jáde wá; àwọsánmọ̀ dúdú sì wà ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
10 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
Ó gun orí kérúbù, ó sì fò; ó ń rábàbà lórí ìyẹ́ apá afẹ́fẹ́.
11 He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Ó fi òkùnkùn ṣe ibojì rẹ̀, ó fi ṣe ìbòrí yí ara rẹ̀ ká kurukuru òjò dúdú ní ojú ọ̀run.
12 At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
Nípa ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ̀, àwọsánmọ̀ ṣíṣú dudu rẹ kọjá lọ pẹ̀lú yìnyín àti ẹ̀yín iná
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
Olúwa sán àrá láti ọ̀run wá; Ọ̀gá-ògo sì fọ ohun rẹ̀; yìnyín àti ẹ̀yin iná.
14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Ó ta àwọn ọfà rẹ̀, ó sì tú àwọn ọ̀tá náà ká, ọfà mọ̀nàmọ́ná ńlá sì dà wọ́n rú.
15 And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
A sì fi ìsàlẹ̀ àwọn òkun hàn, a sì rí àwọn ìpìlẹ̀ ayé nípa ìbáwí rẹ, Olúwa, nípa fífún èémí ihò imú rẹ.
16 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
Ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ibi gíga, ó sì dì mímú; Ó fà mí jáde láti inú omi jíjìn.
17 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Ó gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá mi alágbára, láti ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá, ti ó lágbára jù fún mi.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
Wọ́n dojúkọ mí ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú mi; ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ni alátìlẹ́yìn mi.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
Ó mú mi jáde wá sínú ibi ńlá; Ó gbà mí nítorí tí ó ní inú dídùn sí mi.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
Olúwa ti hùwà sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi, ó ti fi èrè fún mi.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Nítorí mo ti pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́; èmi kò ṣe búburú nípa yíyí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run mi.
22 For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
Gbogbo òfin rẹ̀ ni ó wà níwájú mi; èmi kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú ìlànà rẹ̀.
23 And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Mo ti jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi níwájú rẹ̀; mo sì pa ara mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
Olúwa san ẹ̀san fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi níwájú rẹ̀.
25 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
Fún olóòtítọ́ ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní olóòtítọ́, sí aláìlẹ́bi, ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní aláìlẹ́bi,
26 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
sí ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, ṣùgbọ́n sí ọlọ́kàn-wíwọ́, ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní òǹrorò.
27 For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
O pa onírẹ̀lẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ó rẹ àwọn ti ń gbéraga sílẹ̀.
28 For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
Ìwọ, Olúwa, jẹ́ kí fìtílà mi kí ó máa tàn; Ọlọ́run mi, yí òkùnkùn mi padà sí ìmọ́lẹ̀.
29 For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
Pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, èmi sáré tọ ogun lọ; pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run mi mo lè fo odi kan.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
Bí ó ṣe ti Ọlọ́run mi, ọ̀nà rẹ̀ pé, a ti rídìí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa òun ni àpáta ààbò fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó fi ṣe ààbò.
31 For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
Nítorí ta ni ṣe Ọlọ́run bí kò ṣe Olúwa? Ta ní àpáta bí kò ṣe Olúwa wa?
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
Ọlọ́run ni ẹni tí ó fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè ó sì mú ọ̀nà mi pé.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
Ó ṣe ẹsẹ̀ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bi ẹsẹ̀ abo àgbọ̀nrín; ó jẹ́ ki n lè dúró lórí ibi gíga.
34 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Ó kọ́ ọwọ́ mi ni ogun jíjà; apá mi lè tẹ ọrùn idẹ.
35 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
Ìwọ fi asà ìṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ fún mi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ gbé mí dúró; àti ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ rẹ̀ sọ mí di ńlá.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Ìwọ sọ ìrìn ẹsẹ̀ mi di ńlá ní ìsàlẹ̀ mi, kí kókó-ẹsẹ̀ mi má ṣe yẹ̀.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
Èmi lépa àwọn ọ̀tá mi, èmi sì bá wọn èmi kò sì padà lẹ́yìn wọn títí a fi run wọ́n.
38 I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
Èmi sá wọn ní ọgbẹ́ tí wọn ko fi le è dìde; wọ́n ṣubú ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ mi.
39 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Nítorí ìwọ fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè fún ogun náà; ìwọ ti mú àwọn tí ó dìde si mí tẹríba ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ mi.
40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
Ìwọ yí ẹ̀yìn àwọn ọ̀tá mí padà sí mi èmi sì pa àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi run.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
Wọ́n kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbà wọ́n, àní sí Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kò dá wọn lóhùn.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Mo lù wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí eruku níwájú afẹ́fẹ́; mo dà wọ́n síta gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrọ̀fọ̀.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
Ìwọ ti gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ìkọlù àwọn ènìyàn; Ìwọ ti fi mí ṣe olórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn ènìyàn ti èmi kò mọ, yóò sì máa sìn mí,
44 As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
ni wéré ti wọ́n gbọ́ ohùn mi, wọ́n pa àṣẹ mi mọ́; àwọn ọmọ àjèjì yóò tẹríba fún mi.
45 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
Àyà yóò pá àlejò; wọn yóò sì fi ìbẹ̀rù jáde láti ibi kọ́lọ́fín wọn.
46 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
Olúwa wà láààyè! Olùbùkún ni àpáta mi! Gbígbéga ní Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà mi.
47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
Òun ni Ọlọ́run tí ó ń gbẹ̀san mi, tí ó sì ń ṣẹ́gun àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà ní abẹ́ mi,
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
tí ó pa mí mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mí. Ìwọ gbé mi ga ju àwọn ọ̀tá tí ó dìde sí mi lọ; lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn alágbára ni ìwọ ti gbà mí.
49 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
Títí láéláé, èmi yóò máa yìn ọ́ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ìwọ Olúwa; èmi yóò sì máa kọ orin ìyìn sí orúkọ rẹ.
50 Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Ó fún ọba rẹ̀ ni ìṣẹ́gun ńlá; ó fi ìkáàánú àìṣẹ̀tàn fún ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀, fún Dafidi àti ìran rẹ̀ títí láé.
