< Psalms 141 >

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.
Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa, èmi ké pè ọ́; yára wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi. Gbọ́ ohùn mi, nígbà tí mo bá ń ké pè ọ́.
2 My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.
Jẹ́ kí àdúrà mi ó wá sí iwájú rẹ bí ẹbọ tùràrí àti ìgbé ọwọ́ mi si òkè rí bí ẹbọ àṣálẹ́.
3 Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.
Fi ẹ̀ṣọ́ ṣọ́ ẹnu mi, Olúwa: kí o sì máa pa ìlẹ̀kùn ètè mi mọ́.
4 Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ọkàn mi fà sí ohun tí ń ṣe ibi, láti máa bá àwọn tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ búburú má sì ṣe jẹ́ kí èmi jẹ àdídùn wọn.
5 The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.
Jẹ́ kí olódodo lù mí, ìṣeun ni ó jẹ́: jẹ́ kí ó bá mi wí, ó jẹ́ òróró ní orí mi. Tí kì yóò fọ́ mi ní orí. Síbẹ̀ àdúrà mi wá láìsí ìṣe àwọn olùṣe búburú.
6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
A ó ju àwọn alákòóso sílẹ̀ láti bẹ̀bẹ̀ òkúta, àwọn ẹni búburú yóò kọ pé àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ mi dùn.
7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
Wọn yóò wí pé, “Bí ẹni tí ó la aporo sórí ilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni egungun wa tànkálẹ̀ ní ẹnu isà òkú.” (Sheol h7585)
8 But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.
Ṣùgbọ́n ojú mi ń bẹ lára rẹ, Olúwa Olódùmarè; nínú rẹ̀ ni èmi ti rí ààbò, má ṣe fà mi fún ikú.
9 Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
Pa mí mọ́ kúrò nínú okùn tí wọn ti dẹ sílẹ̀ fún mi, kúrò nínú ìkẹ́kùn àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
10 The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!
Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni búburú ṣubú sínú àwọ̀n ara wọn, nígbà tí èmi bá kọjá lọ láìléwu.
