Psalms 21
1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Háà! Olúwa, ọba yóò yọ̀ nínú agbára rẹ, àti ní ìgbàlà rẹ, yóò ti yọ̀ pẹ́ tó!
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2 Nítorí pé ìwọ ti fi ìfẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ fún un, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò sì dùn ún ní ìbéèrè ẹnu rẹ̀. (Sela)
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Ìwọ ti fi àwọn ìbùkún oore kò ó ni ọ̀nà ìwọ fi adé wúrà dé e ní orí.
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4 Ó béèrè fún ìyè, ìwọ sì fi fún un, àní ọjọ́ gígùn títí ayérayé.
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5 Ògo rẹ̀ pọ̀ nípasẹ̀ ìṣẹ́gun tí o fi fún un; ìwọ sì jẹ́ kí iyì ọláńlá rẹ̀ wà lára rẹ.
His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6 Dájúdájú, ìwọ ti fi ìbùkún ayérayé fún un: ìwọ sì mú inú rẹ̀ dùn pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ojú u rẹ̀.
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7 Ọba ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú Olúwa; nípasẹ̀ ìfẹ́ Ọ̀gá-ògo tí kì í kùnà kì yóò sípò padà.
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Ọwọ́ rẹ yóò wá gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a rẹ rí; ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ yóò wá àwọn tí o kórìíra rẹ rí.
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá yọ ìwọ yóò mú wọn dàbí iná ìléru. Olúwa yóò gbé wọn mì nínú ìbínú rẹ̀, àti pé iná rẹ̀ yóò jó wọn run.
You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10 Ìwọ yóò pa ìrandíran wọn run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, àti irú-ọmọ wọn kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 Bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ wí pé wọ́n ro èrò ibi sí ọ wọ́n sì ń pète ìwà ìkà, wọn kì yóò ṣe àṣeyọrí.
For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12 Nítorí pé ìwọ yóò mú wọn yí ẹ̀yìn wọn padà nígbà tí o bá pinnu láti ta wọ́n ní ọfà.
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13 Gbígbéga ni ọ́ Olúwa, nínú agbára rẹ; a ó kọrin, a ó yín agbára a rẹ̀.
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
