< Psalms 71 >
1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Nínú rẹ, Olúwa, ni mo ní ààbò; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú kí ó tì mí.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Gbà mí kí o sì tú mi sílẹ̀ nínú òdodo rẹ; dẹ etí rẹ sí mi, kí o sì gbà mí.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
Jẹ́ àpáta ààbò mi, níbi tí èmi lè máa lọ, pa àṣẹ láti gbà mí, nítorí ìwọ ni àpáta àti odi agbára mi.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Gbà mí, Ọlọ́run mi, lọ́wọ́ àwọn olùṣe búburú, ní ọwọ́ aláìṣòdodo àti ìkà ọkùnrin.
5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
Nítorí ìwọ jẹ́ ìrètí mi, Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi láti ìgbà èwe.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
Mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ láti ìgbà ìbí mi; Ìwọ mú mi jáde láti inú ìyá mi wá èmi ó máa yìn ọ́ títí láé.
7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
Mo di àmì fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ni ààbò mi tí ó lágbára.
8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honour all the day.
Ìyìn rẹ̀ kún ẹnu mi, ó ń sọ ti ọlá rẹ ní ọjọ́ gbogbo.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Má ṣe ta mí nù ní ọjọ́ ogbó mi, má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ nígbà tí kò sí okun mọ́.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
Nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi, àwọn tí wọn dúró láti pa mí gbìmọ̀ pọ̀.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him].
Wọ́n wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀; lépa rẹ̀ kí ẹ sì mu, nítorí kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbà á.”
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Má ṣe jìnnà sí mi, Ọlọ́run; wa kánkán, Ọlọ́run mi, láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó dààmú, kí a sì run àwọn tí ń ṣe ọ̀tá ọkàn mi kí a sì fi ẹ̀gàn àti àbùkù bo àwọn tí ń wá ìpalára mi.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, ìgbà gbogbo ní ìrètí mi; èmi ó yìn ọ́ síwájú àti síwájú sí i.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Ẹnu mi yóò sọ nípa ti òdodo rẹ, ti ìgbàlà rẹ, ni gbogbo ọjọ́, lóòtítọ́, èmi kò mọ iye rẹ̀.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
Èmi ó wá láti wá kéde agbára, Olúwa Olódùmarè; èmi ó kéde òdodo rẹ̀ nìkan.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Láti ìgbà èwe, Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ ti kọ́ mi títí di òní ni mo ń sọ ti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ.
18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, nígbà tí èmi di arúgbó tán tí mo sì hewú, má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run mi, títí èmi ó fi ipá rẹ han ìran tí ń bọ̀, àti agbára rẹ fún gbogbo àwọn tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
Ọlọ́run, òdodo rẹ dé ọ̀run, ìwọ tí o ti ṣe ohun ńlá. Ta ni ó dàbí rẹ, Ọlọ́run?
20 [Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìwọ ti mú mi rí ìdààmú, tí ó pọ̀ tí ó sì korò, ìwọ yóò tún sọ ayé mi jí ìwọ yóò sì tún mú mi sọ sókè láti ọ̀gbun ilẹ̀ wá. Ìwọ yóò sọ ọlá mi di púpọ̀.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Ìwọ yóò fi kún ọwọ́ mi ìwọ yóò tù mí nínú ní ha gbogbo.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
Èmi yóò fi dùùrù mi yìn fún òtítọ́ rẹ, Ọlọ́run mi; èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí ọ pẹ̀lú dùùrù ìwọ ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Ètè mi yóò kígbe fún ìyìn nígbà tí mo bá kọrin ìyìn sí ọ: èmi, ẹni tí o rà padà.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
Ahọ́n mi yóò sọ ti òdodo rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́, fún àwọn tí ó fẹ́ pa mí lára, a sì dójúti àwọn tí ń wá ìdààmú mi.
