Psalms 57
1 God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
Fún adarí orin. Ní ohùn “Má ṣe parun.” Ti Dafidi. Miktamu. Nígbà tí ó sá níwájú Saulu lọ sínú ihò òkúta. Ṣàánú fún mi, Ọlọ́run, ṣàánú fún mi, nítorí nínú rẹ ni ààbò ọkàn mí wà. Èmi o fi ààbò mí sí ibi ìyẹ́ apá rẹ títí tí ewu yóò fi kọjá lọ.
2 God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
Mo kígbe sókè sí Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ, sí Ọlọ́run tó ń pa májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ mọ́ fún mi.
3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
Òun yóò ránṣẹ́ láti ọ̀run wá, yóò sì gbà mí, bí ẹni tí ń fẹ́ gbé mi mì tilẹ̀ ń kẹ́gàn mi. Ọlọ́run yóò rán àánú rẹ̀ àti òdodo rẹ̀ jáde.
4 [Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
Mo wà ní àárín àwọn kìnnìún; mo dùbúlẹ̀ ni abẹ́ àwọn ẹ̀dá búburú, àwọn ènìyàn tí eyín wọn dàbí ọ̀kọ̀ àti ọfà ẹni tí ahọ́n rẹ̀ jẹ́ idà mímú.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
Kí a yìn ọ́ Ọlọ́run, ju ọ̀run lọ, kí ògo rẹ kò ju ti gbogbo ayé lọ.
6 [It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
Wọ́n ti ta àwọ̀n sílẹ̀ fún ẹsẹ̀ mi: a tẹ orí ọkàn mi ba nínú ìtìjú, wọ́n gbẹ́ kòtò sí ọ̀nà mi: ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ti jì síbẹ̀ fún ara wọn.
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Ọkàn mi ti múra Ọlọ́run; ọkàn mi ti múra, èmi ó kọrin, èmi ó si máa kọrin ìyìn.
8 I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
Jí, ìwọ ọkàn mi! Jí, ohun orin èlò àti dùùrù! Èmi tìkára mi, yóò sì jí ní kùtùkùtù.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Èmi ó máa yìn ọ́, Olúwa, láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè; èmi ó máa kọrin sí ọ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
10 because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
Nítorí títóbi ní ìfẹ́ rẹ, tí ó dé ọ̀run; òtítọ́ rẹ tàn dé àwọsánmọ̀.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Gbígbéga ni ọ́, Ọlọ́run, ju àwọn ọ̀run lọ; kí ògo rẹ kí ó ju gbogbo ayé lọ.
