Psalms 141
1 [A Psalm by David.] LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly. Listen 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 Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
Jẹ́ kí àdúrà mi ó wá sí iwájú rẹ bí ẹbọ tùràrí àti ìgbé ọwọ́ mi si òkè rí bí ẹbọ àṣálẹ́.
3 Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep 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 any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Do not let me eat of their delicacies.
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 Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; do not let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
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 are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
A ó ju àwọn alákòóso sílẹ̀ láti bẹ̀bẹ̀ òkúta, àwọn ẹni búburú yóò kọ pé àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ mi dùn.
7 "As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol." (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 For my eyes are on you, LORD. In you, I take refuge. Do not leave my soul destitute.
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 snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.
Pa mí mọ́ kúrò nínú okùn tí wọn ti dẹ sílẹ̀ fún mi, kúrò nínú ìkẹ́kùn àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
10 Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by.
Jẹ́ kí àwọn ẹni búburú ṣubú sínú àwọ̀n ara wọn, nígbà tí èmi bá kọjá lọ láìléwu.
