Psalms 116
1 Èmi fẹ́ràn Olúwa, nítorí ó gbọ́ ohùn mi; ó gbọ́ ẹkún mi fún àánú.
I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice— my appeal for mercy.
2 Nítorí ó yí etí rẹ̀ padà sí mi, èmi yóò máa pè é ni wọ́n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè.
Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.
The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Nígbà náà ni mo ké pe orúkọ Olúwa: “Olúwa, èmi bẹ̀ ọ́, gba ọkàn mi!”
Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, deliver my soul!”
5 Olúwa ní oore-ọ̀fẹ́, ó sì ní òdodo; Ọlọ́run wa kún fún àánú.
The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion.
6 Olúwa pa àwọn ọlọ́kàn fífúyẹ́ mọ́ nígbà tí mo wà nínú àìní ńlá, ó gbà mí.
The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me.
7 Padà, ìwọ ọkàn mi, sí ibi ìsinmi rẹ, nítorí Olúwa ṣe dáradára sí ọ.
Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.
8 Nítorí ìwọ, Olúwa, ti gba ọkàn mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ ikú, ojú mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ omijé, àti ẹsẹ̀ mi kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìṣubú,
For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 nítorí èmi yóò máa rìn níwájú Olúwa ní ilẹ̀ alààyè.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
10 Èmi gbàgbọ́; nítorí náà mo wí pé, “èmi rí ìpọ́njú púpọ̀”.
I believed, therefore I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 Àti nínú ìdààmú mi mo wí pé, “Èké ni gbogbo ènìyàn”.
In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
12 Kí ni èmi yóò san fún Olúwa nítorí gbogbo rere rẹ̀ sí mi?
How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
13 Èmi yóò gbé ago ìgbàlà sókè èmi yóò sì máa ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
14 Èmi yóò mú ìlérí mi ṣẹ sí Olúwa ní ojú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.
15 Iyebíye ní ojú Olúwa àti ikú àwọn ẹni mímọ́ rẹ̀.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
16 Olúwa, nítòótọ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ni mo jẹ́; èmi ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, ọmọ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ; ó ti tú mi sílẹ̀ nínú ìdè mi.
Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.
17 Èmi yóò rú ẹbọ ọpẹ́ sí ọ èmi yóò sì ké pe orúkọ Olúwa.
I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.
18 Èmi yóò mú ìlérí mi sẹ sí Olúwa ní ojú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀,
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people,
19 nínú àgbàlá ilé Olúwa ní àárín rẹ̀, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu. Ẹ yin Olúwa.
in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
