< Psalms 19 >

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Àwọn ọ̀run ń sọ nípa ti ògo Ọlọ́run; àwọsánmọ̀ ń sọ nípa ti iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The heavens declare the glory of God; The firmament showeth forth the work of his hands.
2 Wọ́n ń fọhùn ní ọjọ́ dé ọjọ́; wọ́n ń fi ìmọ̀ hàn ní alẹ́ dé alẹ́.
Day uttereth instruction unto day, And night showeth knowledge unto night.
3 Kò sí ohùn tàbí èdè níbi tí a kò gbé gbọ́ ìró wọn.
They have no speech nor language, And their voice is not heard;
4 Ohùn wọn jáde lọ sí gbogbo orílẹ̀ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ wọn títí dé òpin ilẹ̀ ayé. Ó ti kọ́ àgọ́ fún oòrùn nínú àwọn ọ̀run.
Yet their sound goeth forth to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Tí ó dàbí ọkọ ìyàwó tí ó ń jáde ti yàrá rẹ̀ wá, òun yọ bí alágbára ọkùnrin tí ó ń sáré ìje.
Which cometh forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, And rejoiceth, like a strong man, to run his course.
6 Ìjáde lọ rẹ̀ ni láti òpin ọ̀run wá àti àyíká rẹ̀ sì dé ìpínlẹ̀ rẹ̀; kò sì sí ohun tí ó pamọ́ kúrò nínú oore rẹ̀.
He goeth forth from the extremity of heaven, And maketh his circuit to the end of it; And nothing is hid from his heat.
7 Pípé ni òfin Olúwa, ó ń yí ọkàn padà. Ẹ̀rí Olúwa dánilójú, ó sọ òpè di ọlọ́gbọ́n.
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; The precepts of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple;
8 Ìlànà Olúwa tọ̀nà, ó ń fi ayọ̀ fún ọkàn. Àṣẹ Olúwa ni mímọ́, ó ń fi ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún ojú.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandments of the LORD are pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 Ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa mọ́, ó ń faradà títí láéláé. Ìdájọ́ Olúwa dájú òdodo ni gbogbo wọn.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 Wọn ṣọ̀wọ́n ju wúrà lọ, ju wúrà tí o dára jùlọ, wọ́n dùn ju oyin lọ, àti ju afárá oyin lọ.
More precious are they than gold; yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Nípa wọn ni a ti ṣí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ létí; nípa pípa wọ́n mọ́, èrè púpọ̀ ń bẹ.
By them also is thy servant warned, And in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Ta ni ó lè mọ àṣìṣe rẹ̀? Dáríjì mí nínú àṣìṣe mi tí ó pamọ́.
Who knoweth his own offences? Oh, cleanse thou me from secret faults!
13 Wẹ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ mọ́ kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àmọ̀ọ́n-mọ̀-dá; má ṣe jẹ kí wọn kí ó jẹ ọba lórí mi. Nígbà náà ní èmi yóò dúró ṣinṣin, èmi yóò sì ṣe aláìlẹ́bi kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ńlá.
Keep back also thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be upright; I shall not be polluted with gross transgression.
14 Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi àti àṣàrò ọkàn mi kí ó jẹ́ ìtẹ́wọ́gbà ní ojú rẹ, Ìwọ Olúwa àpáta mi, àti Olùdáǹdè mi.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer!
