< 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 Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 Nítorí pé ìwọ ti fi ìfẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ fún un, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò sì dùn ún ní ìbéèrè ẹnu rẹ̀. (Sela)
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden 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 thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 Ó béèrè fún ìyè, ìwọ sì fi fún un, àní ọjọ́ gígùn títí ayérayé.
He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even] length of days 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 thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
6 Dájúdájú, ìwọ ti fi ìbùkún ayérayé fún un: ìwọ sì mú inú rẹ̀ dùn pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ojú u rẹ̀.
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 Ọba ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú Olúwa; nípasẹ̀ ìfẹ́ Ọ̀gá-ògo tí kì í kùnà kì yóò sípò padà.
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall 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.
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
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.
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Ìwọ yóò pa ìrandíran wọn run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, àti irú-ọmọ wọn kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
Their fruit shalt thou destroy 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 they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
12 Nítorí pé ìwọ yóò mú wọn yí ẹ̀yìn wọn padà nígbà tí o bá pinnu láti ta wọ́n ní ọfà.
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.
13 Gbígbéga ni ọ́ Olúwa, nínú agbára rẹ; a ó kọrin, a ó yín agbára a rẹ̀.
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we sing and praise thy power.
