Psalms 28
1 Of David. Unto you, O Lord, do I cry; my rock, be not deaf to me: lest, through holding your peace, I become like those who go down to the pit.
Ti Dafidi. Ìwọ Olúwa, mo ké pe àpáta mi. Má ṣe kọ etí dídi sí mi. Tí ìwọ bá dákẹ́ sí mi, èmí yóò dàbí àwọn tí ó lọ sí ọ̀gbun.
2 Hear my loud entreaty, as I cry for help to you, lifting my hands, O Lord, towards your holy chancel.
Gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi fún àánú, bí mo ṣe ń ké pè ọ́ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, bí mo ṣe gbé àwọn ọwọ́ mi sókè sí Ibi Mímọ́ rẹ Jùlọ.
3 Take me not off with the wicked, nor with the workers of wrong, whose speech to their neighbors is friendly, while evil is in their heart.
Má ṣe fà mí lọ pẹ̀lú ènìyàn búburú àti, pẹ̀lú àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà sí aládùúgbò wọn ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwà ìkà ń bẹ nínú wọn.
4 Give them as they have done, as their wicked deeds deserve. As their hands have wrought, so give to them: requite to them their deserts.
San ẹ̀san wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ wọn àti fún iṣẹ́ ibi wọn; gba ẹ̀san wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn; kí o sì san ẹ̀san wọn bí ó ti tọ́.
5 They are blind to all that the Lord does, to all that his hands have wrought; and so he will tear them down, to build them up no more.
Nítorí pé wọn kò ka iṣẹ́ Olúwa sí, tàbí àwọn iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ òun ó rún wọn wọlẹ̀ kì yóò sì gbé wọn ró mọ́.
6 Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy.
Alábùkún fún ni Olúwa! Nítorí pé ó ti gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him. I was helped: so my heart is exultant, and in my song I will praise him.
Olúwa ni agbára mi àti asà mi; nínú rẹ̀ ni mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé; àní, ó sì ràn mí lọ́wọ́. Ọkàn mi sì gbé sókè fún ayọ̀ àní pẹ̀lú orin mi mo fi ọpẹ́ fún un.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, the fortress who saves his anointed.
Olúwa ni agbára àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ òun ni odi ìgbàlà àwọn ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀.
9 O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Ìwọ gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ là, kí o sì bùkún àwọn ajogún rẹ; di olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn, kí o sì gbé wọn lékè títí ayérayé.
