1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa tí ó kọ sí Olúwa, ọ̀rọ̀ orin tí ó kọ sí Olúwa fún ìdáǹdè kúrò lọ́wọ́ Saulu ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Ó wí pé. Mo fẹ́ ọ, Olúwa, agbára mi.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.
2 Olúwa ni àpáta àti odi mi, àti olùgbàlà mi; Ọlọ́run mi ni àpáta mi, ẹni tí mo fi ṣe ibi ìsádi mi. Òun ni àpáta ààbò àti ìwo ìgbàlà mi àti ibi ìsádi mi.
The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
3 Mo ké pe Olúwa, ẹni tí ìyìn yẹ fún, a ó sì gbà mí lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá à mi.
I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
4 Ìrora ikú yí mi kà, àti ìṣàn omi àwọn ènìyàn búburú dẹ́rùbà mí.
The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
The sorowes of the graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertooke me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Nínú ìpọ́njú mo ké pe Olúwa; mo sọkún sí Olúwa mi fún ìrànlọ́wọ́. Láti inú tẹmpili rẹ̀, ó gbọ́ igbe mi; ẹkún mi wá sí iwájú rẹ̀, sí inú etí rẹ̀.
But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
7 Ayé wárìrì, ó sì mì tìtì, ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn òkè gíga sì ṣídìí; wọ́n wárìrì nítorí tí ó ń bínú.
Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
8 Èéfín ti ihò imú rẹ̀ jáde wá; iná ajónirun ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde wá, ẹ̀yin iná bú jáde láti inú rẹ̀.
Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
9 Ó pín àwọn ọ̀run, Ó sì jáde wá; àwọsánmọ̀ dúdú sì wà ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
10 Ó gun orí kérúbù, ó sì fò; ó ń rábàbà lórí ìyẹ́ apá afẹ́fẹ́.
And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
11 Ó fi òkùnkùn ṣe ibojì rẹ̀, ó fi ṣe ìbòrí yí ara rẹ̀ ká kurukuru òjò dúdú ní ojú ọ̀run.
He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
12 Nípa ìmọ́lẹ̀ iwájú rẹ̀, àwọsánmọ̀ ṣíṣú dudu rẹ kọjá lọ pẹ̀lú yìnyín àti ẹ̀yín iná
At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
13 Olúwa sán àrá láti ọ̀run wá; Ọ̀gá-ògo sì fọ ohun rẹ̀; yìnyín àti ẹ̀yin iná.
The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
14 Ó ta àwọn ọfà rẹ̀, ó sì tú àwọn ọ̀tá náà ká, ọfà mọ̀nàmọ́ná ńlá sì dà wọ́n rú.
Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
15 A sì fi ìsàlẹ̀ àwọn òkun hàn, a sì rí àwọn ìpìlẹ̀ ayé nípa ìbáwí rẹ, Olúwa, nípa fífún èémí ihò imú rẹ.
And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
16 Ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ibi gíga, ó sì dì mímú; Ó fà mí jáde láti inú omi jíjìn.
He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
17 Ó gbà mí kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá mi alágbára, láti ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá, ti ó lágbára jù fún mi.
He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
18 Wọ́n dojúkọ mí ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú mi; ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ni alátìlẹ́yìn mi.
They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
19 Ó mú mi jáde wá sínú ibi ńlá; Ó gbà mí nítorí tí ó ní inú dídùn sí mi.
Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
20 Olúwa ti hùwà sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi, ó ti fi èrè fún mi.
The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
21 Nítorí mo ti pa ọ̀nà Olúwa mọ́; èmi kò ṣe búburú nípa yíyí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run mi.
Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
22 Gbogbo òfin rẹ̀ ni ó wà níwájú mi; èmi kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú ìlànà rẹ̀.
For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
23 Mo ti jẹ́ aláìlẹ́bi níwájú rẹ̀; mo sì pa ara mi mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
24 Olúwa san ẹ̀san fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí mímọ́ ọwọ́ mi níwájú rẹ̀.
Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
25 Fún olóòtítọ́ ni ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní olóòtítọ́, sí aláìlẹ́bi, ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní aláìlẹ́bi,
With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
26 sí ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní ọlọ́kàn mímọ́, ṣùgbọ́n sí ọlọ́kàn-wíwọ́, ìwọ ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn ní òǹrorò.
With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
27 O pa onírẹ̀lẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ó rẹ àwọn ti ń gbéraga sílẹ̀.
Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
28 Ìwọ, Olúwa, jẹ́ kí fìtílà mi kí ó máa tàn; Ọlọ́run mi, yí òkùnkùn mi padà sí ìmọ́lẹ̀.
Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
29 Pẹ̀lú ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, èmi sáré tọ ogun lọ; pẹ̀lú Ọlọ́run mi mo lè fo odi kan.
For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
30 Bí ó ṣe ti Ọlọ́run mi, ọ̀nà rẹ̀ pé, a ti rídìí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa òun ni àpáta ààbò fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó fi ṣe ààbò.
The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31 Nítorí ta ni ṣe Ọlọ́run bí kò ṣe Olúwa? Ta ní àpáta bí kò ṣe Olúwa wa?
For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
32 Ọlọ́run ni ẹni tí ó fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè ó sì mú ọ̀nà mi pé.
God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
33 Ó ṣe ẹsẹ̀ mi gẹ́gẹ́ bi ẹsẹ̀ abo àgbọ̀nrín; ó jẹ́ ki n lè dúró lórí ibi gíga.
He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
34 Ó kọ́ ọwọ́ mi ni ogun jíjà; apá mi lè tẹ ọrùn idẹ.
He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
35 Ìwọ fi asà ìṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ fún mi, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ gbé mí dúró; àti ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ rẹ̀ sọ mí di ńlá.
Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
36 Ìwọ sọ ìrìn ẹsẹ̀ mi di ńlá ní ìsàlẹ̀ mi, kí kókó-ẹsẹ̀ mi má ṣe yẹ̀.
Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
37 Èmi lépa àwọn ọ̀tá mi, èmi sì bá wọn èmi kò sì padà lẹ́yìn wọn títí a fi run wọ́n.
I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
38 Èmi sá wọn ní ọgbẹ́ tí wọn ko fi le è dìde; wọ́n ṣubú ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ mi.
I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
39 Nítorí ìwọ fi agbára dì mí ní àmùrè fún ogun náà; ìwọ ti mú àwọn tí ó dìde si mí tẹríba ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ mi.
For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
40 Ìwọ yí ẹ̀yìn àwọn ọ̀tá mí padà sí mi èmi sì pa àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi run.
And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 Wọ́n kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹnìkan tí ó gbà wọ́n, àní sí Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kò dá wọn lóhùn.
They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
42 Mo lù wọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí eruku níwájú afẹ́fẹ́; mo dà wọ́n síta gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrọ̀fọ̀.
Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
43 Ìwọ ti gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ìkọlù àwọn ènìyàn; Ìwọ ti fi mí ṣe olórí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn ènìyàn ti èmi kò mọ, yóò sì máa sìn mí,
Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.
44 ni wéré ti wọ́n gbọ́ ohùn mi, wọ́n pa àṣẹ mi mọ́; àwọn ọmọ àjèjì yóò tẹríba fún mi.
As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
45 Àyà yóò pá àlejò; wọn yóò sì fi ìbẹ̀rù jáde láti ibi kọ́lọ́fín wọn.
Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
46 Olúwa wà láààyè! Olùbùkún ni àpáta mi! Gbígbéga ní Ọlọ́run Olùgbàlà mi.
Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
47 Òun ni Ọlọ́run tí ó ń gbẹ̀san mi, tí ó sì ń ṣẹ́gun àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó wà ní abẹ́ mi,
It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.
48 tí ó pa mí mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mí. Ìwọ gbé mi ga ju àwọn ọ̀tá tí ó dìde sí mi lọ; lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn alágbára ni ìwọ ti gbà mí.
O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.
49 Títí láéláé, èmi yóò máa yìn ọ́ láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, ìwọ Olúwa; èmi yóò sì máa kọ orin ìyìn sí orúkọ rẹ.
Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.
50 Ó fún ọba rẹ̀ ni ìṣẹ́gun ńlá; ó fi ìkáàánú àìṣẹ̀tàn fún ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀, fún Dafidi àti ìran rẹ̀ títí láé.
Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
