Psalms 144
1 Ti Dafidi. Ìyìn sí Olúwa àpáta mi, ẹni tí ó kọ́ ọwọ́ mi fún ogun, àti ìka mi fún ìjà.
A Psalme of David. Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth mine hands to fight, and my fingers to battell.
2 Òun ni Ọlọ́run ìfẹ́ mi àti odi alágbára mi, ibi gíga mi àti olùgbàlà mi, asà mi, ẹni tí èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé, ẹni tí ó tẹrí àwọn ènìyàn ba lábẹ́ mi.
He is my goodnes and my fortresse, my towre and my deliuerer, my shield, and in him I trust, which subdueth my people vnder me.
3 Olúwa, kí ni ènìyàn tí ìwọ fi ń ṣàníyàn fún un, tàbí ọmọ ènìyàn tí ìwọ fi ń ronú nípa rẹ̀?
Lord, what is man that thou regardest him! or the sonne of man that thou thinkest vpon him!
4 Ènìyàn rí bí èmi; ọjọ́ rẹ̀ rí bí òjìji tí ń kọjá lọ.
Man is like to vanitie: his dayes are like a shadow, that vanisheth.
5 Tẹ ọ̀run rẹ ba, Olúwa, kí o sì sọ̀kalẹ̀; tọ́ àwọn òkè ńlá wọn yóò sí rú èéfín.
Bow thine heauens, O Lord, and come downe: touch the mountaines and they shall smoke.
6 Rán mọ̀nàmọ́ná kí ó sì fọ́n àwọn ọ̀tá ká; ta ọfà rẹ kí ó sì dà wọ́n rú.
Cast forth the lightning and scatter them: shoote out thine arrowes, and consume them.
7 Na ọwọ́ rẹ sílẹ̀ láti ibi gíga; gbà mí kí o sì yọ mí nínú ewu kúrò nínú omi ńlá: kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ àjèjì.
Send thine hand from aboue: deliuer me, and take me out of the great waters, and from the hand of strangers,
8 Ẹnu ẹni tí ó kún fún èké ẹni tí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ jẹ́ ìrẹ́jẹ.
Whose mouth talketh vanitie, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 Èmi yóò kọ orin tuntun sí ọ Ọlọ́run; lára ohun èlò orin olókùn mẹ́wàá èmi yóò kọ orin sí ọ.
I wil sing a new song vnto thee, O God, and sing vnto thee vpon a viole, and an instrument of ten strings.
10 Òun ni ó fi ìgbàlà fún àwọn ọba, ẹni tí ó gba Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ idà ìpanilára. Lọ́wọ́ pípanirun.
It is he that giueth deliuerance vnto Kings, and rescueth Dauid his seruant from the hurtfull sworde.
11 Gbà mí kí o sì yọ mí nínú ewu kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ àjèjì tí ẹnu wọn kún fún èké, tí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún wọn jẹ́ ọwọ́ ọ̀tún èké.
Rescue me, and deliuer me from the hand of strangers, whose mouth talketh vanitie, and their right hand is a right hand of falshood:
12 Kí àwọn ọmọkùnrin wa kí ó dàbí igi gbígbìn tí ó dàgbà ni ìgbà èwe wọn, àti ọmọbìnrin wa yóò dàbí òpó ilé tí a ṣe ọ̀nà sí bí àfarawé ààfin.
That our sonnes may be as the plantes growing vp in their youth, and our daughters as the corner stones, grauen after the similitude of a palace:
13 Àká wa yóò kún pẹ̀lú gbogbo onírúurú oúnjẹ àgùntàn wa yóò pọ̀ si ní ẹgbẹ̀rún, ní ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ní oko wa:
That our corners may be full, and abounding with diuers sorts, and that our sheepe may bring forth thousands and ten thousand in our streetes:
14 àwọn màlúù wa yóò ru ẹrù wúwo kí ó má sí ìkọlù, kí ó má sí ìkólọ sí ìgbèkùn, kí ó má sí i igbe ìpọ́njú ní ìgboro wa.
That our oxen may be strong to labour: that there be none inuasion, nor going out, nor no crying in our streetes.
15 Ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ènìyàn náà tí ó wà ní irú ipò bẹ́ẹ̀, ìbùkún ni fún àwọn ènìyàn náà, tí ẹni tí Ọlọ́run Olúwa ń ṣe.
Blessed are the people, that be so, yea, blessed are the people, whose God is the Lord.
