Psalms 140
1 Deliver me, O Yhwh, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa, gbà mi lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin búburú u nì, yọ mí lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin ìkà a nì,
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
ẹni tí ń ro ìwà búburú ní inú wọn; nígbà gbogbo ni wọ́n ń rú ìjà sókè sí mi.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Wọ́n ti pọ́n ahọ́n wọn bí ejò, oró paramọ́lẹ̀ ń bẹ ní abẹ́ ètè wọn.
4 Keep me, O Yhwh, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Olúwa, pa mí mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú; yọ mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin ìkà a nì ẹni tí ó ti pinnu rẹ̀ láti bi ìrìn mi ṣubú.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)
Àwọn agbéraga ti dẹkùn sílẹ̀ fún mi àti okùn: wọ́n ti na àwọ̀n lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà; wọ́n ti kẹ́kùn sílẹ̀ fún mi.
6 I said unto Yhwh, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Yhwh.
Èmi wí fún Olúwa pé ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi; Olúwa, gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi.
7 O Yhwh the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Olúwa Olódùmarè, agbára ìgbàlà mi, ìwọ ni ó bo orí mi mọ́lẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìjà.
8 Grant not, O Yhwh, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Olúwa, máa ṣe fi ìfẹ́ ènìyàn búburú fún un; má ṣe kún ọgbọ́n búburú rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́; kí wọn kí ó máa ba à gbé ara wọn ga. (Sela)
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Bí ó ṣe ti orí àwọn tí ó yí mi káàkiri ni, jẹ́ kí ète ìka ara wọn kí ó bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
A ó da ẹ̀yin iná sí wọn lára, Òun yóò wọ́ wọn lọ sínú iná, sínú ọ̀gbun omi jíjìn, kí wọn kí ó má ba à le dìde mọ́.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí aláhọ́n búburú fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ ní ayé; ibi ni yóò máa dọdẹ ọkùnrin ìkà nì láti bì í ṣubú.
12 I know that Yhwh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
Èmi mọ̀ pé, Olúwa yóò mú ọ̀nà olùpọ́njú dúró, yóò sì ṣe ẹ̀tọ́ fún àwọn tálákà.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Nítòótọ́ àwọn olódodo yóò máa fi ọpẹ́ fún orúkọ rẹ; àwọn ẹni dídúró ṣinṣin yóò máa gbé iwájú rẹ.
