Psalms 146

1 Ẹ fi ìyìn fún Olúwa. Fi ìyìn fún Olúwa, ìwọ ọkàn mi.

Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!

2 Èmi yóò yin Olúwa ní gbogbo ayé mi, èmi yóò kọrin ìyìn sí Ọlọ́run, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí mo bá wà láààyè.

I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.

3 Ẹ má ṣe ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú àwọn ọmọ-aládé, àní, ọmọ ènìyàn, lọ́wọ́ ẹni tí kò sí ìrànlọ́wọ́.

Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.

4 Ẹ̀mí rẹ jáde lọ, ó padà sí erùpẹ̀, ní ọjọ́ náà gan, èrò wọn yóò di òfo.

Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

5 Ìbùkún ni fún ẹni tí Ọlọ́run Jakọbu ń ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ tí ìrètí rẹ̀ wà nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—

6 Ẹni tí ó dá ọ̀run àti ayé, òkun àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú wọn, ẹni tí ó pa òtítọ́ mọ́ títí ayé.

the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.

7 Ẹni tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn tí a ni lára, tí ó fi oúnjẹ fún àwọn tí ebi ń pa, Olúwa, tú àwọn oǹdè sílẹ̀,

He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.

8 Olúwa mú àwọn afọ́jú ríran, Olúwa, gbé àwọn tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ga, Olúwa fẹ́ràn àwọn olódodo.

The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.

9 Olúwa ń dá ààbò bo àwọn àlejò ó sì ń dá àwọn aláìní baba àti opó sí ṣùgbọ́n ó ba ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn búburú jẹ́.

The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

10 Olúwa jẹ ọba títí láé; Ọlọ́run rẹ, ìwọ Sioni, àti fún gbogbo ìran. Ẹ fi ìyìn fún Olúwa.

The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
