Psalms 18
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID, WHO HAS SPOKEN TO YHWH THE WORDS OF THIS SONG IN THE DAY YHWH DELIVERED HIM FROM THE HAND OF ALL HIS ENEMIES, AND FROM THE HAND OF SAUL, AND HE SAYS: I love You, O YHWH, 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 YHWH [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and the horn of my 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 I call on YHWH, the Praised One, And I am saved from my enemies.
Mo ké pe Olúwa, ẹni tí ìyìn yẹ fún, a ó sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá à mi.
4 Cords of death have surrounded me, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
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 adversity I call YHWH, And I cry to my God. He hears my voice from His temple, And My cry comes into His ears before Him.
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 And the earth shakes and trembles, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake—because He has wrath.
Ayé wárìrì, ó sì mì tìtì, ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn òkè gíga sì ṣídìí; wọ́n wárìrì nítorí tí ó ń bínú.
8 Smoke has gone up from His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumes, Coals have been kindled by it.
Èéfín ti ihò imú rẹ̀ jáde wá; iná ajónirun ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá, ẹ̀yin iná bú jáde láti inú rẹ̀.
9 And He inclines the heavens, and comes down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
Ó pín àwọn ọ̀run, Ó sì jáde wá; àwọsánmọ̀ dúdú sì wà ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
10 And He rides on a cherub, and flies, And He flies on wings of wind.
Ó gun orí kérúbù, ó sì fò; ó ń rábàbà lórí ìyẹ́ apá afẹ́fẹ́.
11 He makes darkness His secret place, Around Him His dwelling place, 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 From the brightness before Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
Nípa ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ̀, àwọsánmọ̀ ṣíṣú dudu rẹ kọjá lọ pẹ̀lú yìnyín àti ẹ̀yín iná
13 And YHWH thunders in the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
Olúwa sán àrá láti ọ̀run wá; Ọ̀gá-ògo sì fọ ohun rẹ̀; yìnyín àti ẹ̀yin iná.
14 And He sends His arrows and scatters them, And much lightning, and crushes them.
Ó ta àwọn ọfà rẹ̀, ó sì tú àwọn ọ̀tá náà ká, ọfà mọ̀nàmọ́ná ńlá sì dà wọ́n rú.
15 And the streams of waters are seen, And foundations of the earth are revealed, From Your rebuke, O YHWH, From the breath of the wind of Your anger.
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 sends from above—He takes me, He draws me out of many waters.
Ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ibi gíga, ó sì dì mímú; Ó fà mí jáde láti inú omi jíjìn.
17 He delivers me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
Ó gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá mi alágbára, láti ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá, ti ó lágbára jù fún mi.
18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And YHWH is for a support to me.
Wọ́n dojúkọ mí ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú mi; ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ni alátìlẹ́yìn mi.
19 And He brings me forth to a large place, He draws me out, 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 YHWH repays me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to 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 YHWH, And have not done wickedly against my God.
Nítorí mo ti pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́; èmi kò ṣe búburú nípa yíyí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run mi.
22 For all His judgments [are] before me, And I do not turn His statutes from me.
Gbogbo òfin rẹ̀ ni ó wà níwájú mi; èmi kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú ìlànà rẹ̀.
23 And I am perfect with Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
Mo ti jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi níwájú rẹ̀; mo sì pa ara mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
24 And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Before His eyes.
Olúwa san ẹ̀san fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi níwájú rẹ̀.
25 With the kind You show Yourself kind, With a perfect man You show Yourself perfect.
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 You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler,
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 You save a poor people, And cause the eyes of the high to fall.
O pa onírẹ̀lẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ó rẹ àwọn ti ń gbéraga sílẹ̀.
28 For You light my lamp, My God YHWH enlightens my darkness.
Ìwọ, Olúwa, jẹ́ kí fìtílà mi kí ó máa tàn; Ọlọ́run mi, yí òkùnkùn mi padà sí ìmọ́lẹ̀.
29 For by You I run [against] a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
Pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, èmi sáré tọ ogun lọ; pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run mi mo lè fo odi kan.
30 God—perfect [is] His way, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting 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 besides YHWH? 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 God—who is girding me [with] strength, And He makes my way perfect.
Ọlọ́run ni ẹni tí ó fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè ó sì mú ọ̀nà mi pé.
33 Making my feet like does, And on my high places causes me to stand.
Ó ṣe ẹsẹ̀ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bi ẹsẹ̀ abo àgbọ̀nrín; ó jẹ́ ki n lè dúró lórí ibi gíga.
34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my arms.
Ó kọ́ ọwọ́ mi ni ogun jíjà; apá mi lè tẹ ọrùn idẹ.
35 And You give to me the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand supports me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
Ìwọ fi asà ìṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ fún mi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ gbé mí dúró; àti ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ rẹ̀ sọ mí di ńlá.
36 You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles have not slipped.
Ìwọ sọ ìrìn ẹsẹ̀ mi di ńlá ní ìsàlẹ̀ mi, kí kókó-ẹsẹ̀ mi má ṣe yẹ̀.
37 I pursue my enemies, and overtake them, And do not turn back until they are consumed.
Èmi lépa àwọn ọ̀tá mi, èmi sì bá wọn èmi kò sì padà lẹ́yìn wọn títí a fi run wọ́n.
38 I strike them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
Èmi sá wọn ní ọgbẹ́ tí wọn ko fi le è dìde; wọ́n ṣubú ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ mi.
39 And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under 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 As for my enemies—You have given to me the neck, As for those hating me—I cut them off.
Ìwọ yí ẹ̀yìn àwọn ọ̀tá mí padà sí mi èmi sì pa àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi run.
41 They cry, and there is no savior, On YHWH, and He does not answer them.
Wọ́n kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbà wọ́n, àní sí Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kò dá wọn lóhùn.
42 And I beat them as dust before wind, I empty them out as mire of the streets.
Mo lù wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí eruku níwájú afẹ́fẹ́; mo dà wọ́n síta gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrọ̀fọ̀.
43 You deliver me From the strivings of the people, You place me for a head of nations, A people 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 At the hearing of the ear they listen to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
ni wéré ti wọ́n gbọ́ ohùn mi, wọ́n pa àṣẹ mi mọ́; àwọn ọmọ àjèjì yóò tẹríba fún mi.
45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
Àyà yóò pá àlejò; wọn yóò sì fi ìbẹ̀rù jáde láti ibi kọ́lọ́fín wọn.
46 YHWH lives—and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
Olúwa wà láààyè! Olùbùkún ni àpáta mi! Gbígbéga ní Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà mi.
47 God—who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdues 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 My deliverer from my enemies, You raise me above my withstanders, Deliver me from a man of violence.
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 confess You among nations, O YHWH, And I sing praise to Your 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 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!
Ó fún ọba rẹ̀ ni ìṣẹ́gun ńlá; ó fi ìkáàánú àìṣẹ̀tàn fún ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀, fún Dafidi àti ìran rẹ̀ títí láé.
