Psalms 140
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa, gbà mi lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin búburú u nì, yọ mí lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin ìkà a nì,
2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
ẹni tí ń ro ìwà búburú ní inú wọn; nígbà gbogbo ni wọ́n ń rú ìjà sókè sí mi.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Wọ́n ti pọ́n ahọ́n wọn bí ejò, oró paramọ́lẹ̀ ń bẹ ní abẹ́ ètè wọn.
4 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
Olúwa, pa mí mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú; yọ mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọkùnrin ìkà a nì ẹni tí ó ti pinnu rẹ̀ láti bi ìrìn mi ṣubú.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. (Selah)
Àwọn agbéraga ti dẹkùn sílẹ̀ fún mi àti okùn: wọ́n ti na àwọ̀n lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà; wọ́n ti kẹ́kùn sílẹ̀ fún mi.
6 I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
Èmi wí fún Olúwa pé ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi; Olúwa, gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi.
7 LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
Olúwa Olódùmarè, agbára ìgbàlà mi, ìwọ ni ó bo orí mi mọ́lẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ ìjà.
8 LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (Selah)
Olúwa, máa ṣe fi ìfẹ́ ènìyàn búburú fún un; má ṣe kún ọgbọ́n búburú rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́; kí wọn kí ó máa ba à gbé ara wọn ga. (Sela)
9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Bí ó ṣe ti orí àwọn tí ó yí mi káàkiri ni, jẹ́ kí ète ìka ara wọn kí ó bò wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀.
10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
A ó da ẹ̀yin iná sí wọn lára, Òun yóò wọ́ wọn lọ sínú iná, sínú ọ̀gbun omi jíjìn, kí wọn kí ó má ba à le dìde mọ́.
11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Má ṣe jẹ́ kí aláhọ́n búburú fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ ní ayé; ibi ni yóò máa dọdẹ ọkùnrin ìkà nì láti bì í ṣubú.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
Èmi mọ̀ pé, Olúwa yóò mú ọ̀nà olùpọ́njú dúró, yóò sì ṣe ẹ̀tọ́ fún àwọn tálákà.
13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
Nítòótọ́ àwọn olódodo yóò máa fi ọpẹ́ fún orúkọ rẹ; àwọn ẹni dídúró ṣinṣin yóò máa gbé iwájú rẹ.
