Psalms 103
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. I will praise him [MTY] with all of my inner being, [because] he [MTY] is holy.
Ti Dafidi. Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi; àti gbogbo ohun tí ó wà nínú mi, yín orúkọ rẹ̀ mímọ́.
2 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh and never forget all the kind things he has done for me:
Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi, kí o má ṣe gbàgbé gbogbo oore rẹ̀,
3 He forgives all my sins, and he heals me from all my diseases/sicknesses;
ẹni tí ó dárí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀ jì ọ́ tí ó sì wo gbogbo ààrùn rẹ̀ sàn,
4 he keeps me from dying [MTY], and blesses me by faithfully loving me and acting mercifully to me.
ẹni tí ó ra ẹ̀mí rẹ padà kúrò nínú kòtò ikú ẹni tí ó fi ìṣeun ìfẹ́ àti ìyọ́nú dé ọ ní adé,
5 He gives me good things during my entire life. He makes me feel young and strong like eagles.
ẹni tí ó fi ohun dídára tẹ́ ọ lọ́rùn kí ìgbà èwe rẹ̀ lè di ọ̀tún bí ti ẹyẹ idì.
6 Yahweh judges justly and (vindicates/does what is right for) all those who have been treated unfairly.
Olúwa ń ṣe òdodo àti ìdájọ́ fún gbogbo àwọn tí a ni lára.
7 [Long ago] he revealed to Moses what he planned to do; he showed to the [ancestors of us] Israeli people the mighty things that he was able to do.
Ó fi ọ̀nà rẹ̀ hàn fún Mose, iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ fun àwọn ọmọ Israẹli;
8 Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly; he does not quickly (get angry/punish us) [when we sin]; he is always [showing us that he] faithfully loves us.
Olúwa ni aláàánú àti olóore, ó lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì pọ̀ ní ìfẹ́.
9 He will not keep rebuking us, and he will not remain angry forever.
Òun kì í bá ni wí ní ìgbà gbogbo bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í pa ìbínú rẹ mọ́ láéláé,
10 He punishes us for our sins, but he does not punish us [severely] as we deserve [DOU]!
Òun kì í ṣe sí wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í san án fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí àìṣedéédéé wa.
11 The skies are very high above the earth, and Yahweh’s faithful love for all those who revere him is just as great.
Nítorí bí ọ̀run ṣe ga sílẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ tóbi sí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
12 He has taken away [the guilt for] [MTY] our sins, taking it as far from us as the east is from the west.
Bí ìlà-oòrùn ti jìnnà sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ṣe mú ìrékọjá wá jìnnà sí wa.
13 Just like parents act mercifully toward their children, Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
Bí baba ti ń ṣe ìyọ́nú sí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa ń ṣe ìyọ́nú sí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀,
14 He knows what our bodies are like; he remembers that [he created us from] dirt, and so we quickly fail [to do what pleases him] [MET].
nítorí tí ó mọ dídá wa, ó rántí pé erùpẹ̀ ni wá.
15 We humans do not live forever [SIM]; we are like grass [SIM] [that withers and dies]. We are like wild flowers: They bloom [for a short while],
Bí ó ṣe ti ènìyàn ni, ọjọ́ rẹ̀ dàbí koríko, ó gbilẹ̀ bí ìtànná ewéko igbó,
16 but then the [hot] wind blows over them, and they disappear; no one sees them again.
afẹ́fẹ́ fẹ́ kọjá lọ lórí rẹ̀, kò sì rántí ibùjókòó rẹ̀ mọ́.
17 But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever all those who revere him. He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
Ṣùgbọ́n láti ayérayé ni ìfẹ́ Olúwa ti wà pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, àti òdodo rẹ̀ wà láti ọmọdọ́mọ,
18 he will act that way to all those who obey the agreement he made with them [to bless them if they did what he told them to do], to all those who obey what he has commanded.
sí àwọn tí ó pa májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ mọ́ àti àwọn tí ó rántí òfin rẹ̀ láti ṣe wọ́n.
19 Yahweh made/caused the heavens to be the place where he rules [MTY]; from there he rules over everything.
Olúwa ti pèsè ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ nínú ọ̀run, ìjọba rẹ̀ ní ó sì borí ohun gbogbo.
20 You angels who belong to Yahweh, praise him! You are powerful creatures/beings who do what he tells you to do; you obey what he commands.
Yin Olúwa, ẹ̀yin angẹli rẹ̀, tí ó ní ipá, tí ó pa òfin ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ mọ́, tì ó sì ń se ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
21 Praise Yahweh, you armies/thousands of angels who serve him and do what he desires!
Yin Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ogun ọ̀run rẹ̀ gbogbo, ẹ̀yin ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ń ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
22 All you things that Yahweh has created, praise him; praise him in every place where he rules, everywhere! And I [also] will praise Yahweh!
Yin Olúwa, gbogbo iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ní ibi gbogbo ìjọba rẹ̀. Yin Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi.
