< Psalms 121 >
1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Èmi yóò gbé ojú mi sórí òkè wọ̀n-ọn-nì— níbo ni ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi yóò ti wá?
I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
2 Ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi tí ọwọ́ Olúwa wá, ẹni tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.
My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 Òun kì yóò jẹ́ kí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ kí ó yẹ̀; ẹni tí ó pa ọ́ mọ́ kì í tòògbé.
May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
4 Kíyèsi, ẹni tí ń pa Israẹli mọ́, kì í tòògbé bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í sùn.
Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
5 Olúwa ni olùpamọ́ rẹ; Olúwa ní òjìji rẹ ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ.
The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
6 Oòrùn kì yóò pa ọ́ ní ìgbà ọ̀sán tàbí òṣùpá ní ìgbà òru.
The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
7 Olúwa yóò pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi gbogbo yóò pa ọkàn rẹ mọ́
The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
8 Olúwa yóò pa àlọ àti ààbọ̀ rẹ mọ́ láti ìgbà yìí lọ àti títí láéláé.
May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
