< Psalms 7 >
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in you have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Ṣiggaioni ti Dafidi, èyí tí ó kọ sí Olúwa nípa Kuṣi, ará Benjamini. Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ààbò mi wà nínú rẹ; gba mí là kí o sì tú mi sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tó ń lé mi,
2 Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
kí wọn ó má ba à fa ọkàn mi ya gẹ́gẹ́ bí kìnnìún, wọ́n á ya á pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbà mí.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, tí èmi bá ṣe èyí tí ẹ̀bi sì wà ní ọwọ́ mi.
4 if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
bí èmi bá ṣe ibi sí ẹni tí ń wá àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú mi, tí mo ja ọ̀tá mi lólè láìnídìí,
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
nígbà náà, jẹ́ kí ọ̀tá mi lé mi kí wọn sì mú mi; jẹ́ kí òun kí ó tẹ ọkàn mi mọ́lẹ̀ kí wọn sì mú mi sùn nínú eruku. (Sela)
6 Arise, O Lord, in your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
Dìde, Olúwa, nínú ìbínú rẹ; dìde lòdì sí ìrunú àwọn ọ̀tá mi. Jí, Ọlọ́run mi; kéde òdodo.
7 And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
Kí ìpéjọ àwọn ènìyàn yíká. Jọba lórí wọn láti òkè wá.
8 The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
Jẹ́ kí Olúwa ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ènìyàn. Ṣe ìdájọ́ mi, Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà òtítọ́, ẹni gíga jùlọ.
9 Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins.
Ọlọ́run Olódodo, Ẹni tí ó ń wo inú àti ọkàn, tí ó ń mú òpin sí ìwà ipá ẹni búburú tí ó sì ń pa àwọn olódodo mọ́.
10 My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
Ààbò mi ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń ṣe ìgbàlà òtítọ́ ní àyà.
11 God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
Ọlọ́run ni onídàájọ́ òtítọ́, Ọlọ́run tí ń sọ ìrunú rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
12 If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
Bí kò bá yípadà, Òun yóò pọ́n idà rẹ̀ mú; ó ti fa ọrun rẹ̀ le ná, ó ti múra rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
13 And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
Ó ti pèsè ohun ìjà ikú sílẹ̀; ó ti pèsè ọfà iná sílẹ̀.
14 Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
Ẹni tí ó lóyún ohun búburú, tí ó sì lóyún wàhálà, ó bí èké jáde.
15 He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
Ẹni tí ó gbẹ́ ọ̀fìn, tí ó kó o jáde jì sí kòtò tí ó gbẹ́ sílẹ̀.
16 His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
Wàhálà tí ó fà padà sórí rẹ̀; ìwà ipá rẹ̀ padà sórí ara rẹ̀.
17 I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
Èmi ó fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí òdodo rẹ̀, èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ.
