< Psalms 143 >

1 Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa gbọ́ àdúrà mi, fetísí igbe mi fún àánú; nínú òtítọ́ àti òdodo rẹ, wá fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi.
A psalm of David. Hear my prayer, Yahweh; listen to my pleas. Because of your faithfulness and righteousness, answer me!
2 Má ṣe mú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ wá sí ìdájọ́, nítorí kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó wà láààyè tí ó ṣe òdodo níwájú rẹ.
Do not enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no one is righteous.
3 Ọ̀tá ń lépa mi, ó fún mi pamọ́ ilẹ̀; ó mú mi gbé nínú òkùnkùn bí àwọn tí ó ti kú ti pẹ́.
The enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed me to the ground; he has made me to live in darkness like those who have been dead a long time.
4 Nítorí náà ẹ̀mí mi ṣe rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nínú mi; ọkàn mi nínú mi ṣì pòruurù.
My spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart despairs.
5 Èmi rántí ọjọ́ tí ó ti pẹ́; èmi ń ṣe àṣàrò lórí gbogbo iṣẹ́ rẹ mo sì ṣe àkíyèsí ohun tí ọwọ́ rẹ ti ṣe.
I call to mind the old days; I meditate on all your deeds; I reflect on your accomplishments.
6 Èmi na ọwọ́ mi jáde sí ọ: òǹgbẹ rẹ gbẹ ọkàn mi bí i ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀. (Sela)
I spread my hands out to you; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land. (Selah)
7 Dá mi lóhùn kánkán, Olúwa; ó rẹ ẹ̀mí mi tán. Má ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́ kúrò lára mi kí èmi má ba à dàbí àwọn tí ó lọ sínú ihò.
Answer me quickly, Yahweh, because my spirit faints. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like those who go down into the pit.
8 Mú mi gbọ́ ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ ní òwúrọ̀: nítorí ìwọ ni mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé. Fi ọ̀nà tí èmi i bá rìn hàn mí, nítorí èmi gbé ọkàn mi sókè sí ọ.
Let me hear your covenant faithfulness in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way where I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi, Olúwa, nítorí èmi fi ara mi pamọ́ sínú rẹ.
Rescue me from my enemies, Yahweh; I flee to you to hide.
10 Kọ́ mi láti ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ, nítorí ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi jẹ́ kí ẹ̀mí rẹ dídára darí mi sí ilẹ̀ tí ó tẹ́jú.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your good Spirit lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Nítorí orúkọ rẹ, Olúwa, sọ mi di ààyè; nínú òdodo rẹ, mú ọkàn mi jáde nínú wàhálà.
Yahweh, for your name's sake, keep me alive; in your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ tí kì í kùnà, ké àwọn ọ̀tá mi kúrò, run gbogbo àwọn tí ń ni ọkàn mi lára, nítorí pé èmi ni ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.
In your covenant faithfulness cut off my enemies and destroy all the enemies of my life, for I am your servant.
