Psalms 20

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Kí Olúwa kí ó gbóhùn rẹ ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú; kí orúkọ Ọlọ́run Jakọbu kí ó dáàbò bò ọ́.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

2 Kí ó rán ìrànlọ́wọ́ sí ọ, láti ibi mímọ́ kí ó sì tì ọ́ lẹ́yìn láti Sioni wá.

Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

3 Kí ó sì rántí gbogbo ẹbọ rẹ kí ó sì gba ẹbọ sísun rẹ. (Sela)

Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

4 Kí ó fi fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bi ti èrò ọkàn rẹ kí ó sì mú gbogbo ìmọ̀ rẹ ṣẹ.

And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

5 Àwa yóò hó fún ayọ̀ nígbà tí o bá di aṣẹ́gun àwa yóò gbé àsíá wa sókè ní orúkọ Ọlọ́run wa. Kí Olúwa kí ó mú gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀ ṣẹ.

That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.

6 Nísinsin yìí, èmi mọ̀ wí pé, Olúwa pa ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀ mọ́. Yóò gbọ́ láti ọ̀run mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá pẹ̀lú agbára ìgbàlà ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀.

Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.

7 Àwọn mìíràn gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé kẹ̀kẹ́, àwọn mìíràn gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé ẹṣin, ṣùgbọ́n àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

8 Wọ́n wólẹ̀, ní eékún, wọ́n sì ṣubú, ṣùgbọ́n àwa dìde, a sì dúró ṣinṣin.

They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

9 Olúwa, fi ìṣẹ́gun fún ọba! Dá wa lóhùn nígbà tí a bá ń kígbe pè!

Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
