Psalms 121

1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Èmi yóò gbé ojú mi sórí òkè wọ̀n-ọn-nì— níbo ni ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi yóò ti wá?

A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

2 Ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi tí ọwọ́ Olúwa wá, ẹni tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé.

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

3 Òun kì yóò jẹ́ kí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ kí ó yẹ̀; ẹni tí ó pa ọ́ mọ́ kì í tòògbé.

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

4 Kíyèsi, ẹni tí ń pa Israẹli mọ́, kì í tòògbé bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í sùn.

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Olúwa ni olùpamọ́ rẹ; Olúwa ní òjìji rẹ ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ.

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

6 Oòrùn kì yóò pa ọ́ ní ìgbà ọ̀sán tàbí òṣùpá ní ìgbà òru.

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

7 Olúwa yóò pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi gbogbo yóò pa ọkàn rẹ mọ́

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

8 Olúwa yóò pa àlọ àti ààbọ̀ rẹ mọ́ láti ìgbà yìí lọ àti títí láéláé.

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
