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.” O Lord, because of thy strength will the king rejoice; and through thy salvation how greatly will he be glad!
2 Nítorí pé ìwọ ti fi ìfẹ́ ọkàn rẹ̀ fún un, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò sì dùn ún ní ìbéèrè ẹnu rẹ̀. (Sela)
The longing of his heart hast thou given him, and the request of his lips hast thou not withholden. (Selah)
3 Ìwọ ti fi àwọn ìbùkún oore kò ó ni ọ̀nà ìwọ fi adé wúrà dé e ní orí.
For thou meetest him unasked with the blessings of happiness: thou settest on his head a crown of pure gold.
4 Ó béèrè fún ìyè, ìwọ sì fi fún un, àní ọjọ́ gígùn títí ayérayé.
Life hath he asked of thee, thou gavest it to him, 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.
Great is his honor through thy help: glory and majesty thou layest upon him.
6 Dájúdájú, ìwọ ti fi ìbùkún ayérayé fún un: ìwọ sì mú inú rẹ̀ dùn pẹ̀lú ayọ̀ ojú u rẹ̀.
For thou appointest him to be a blessing for ever: thou makest him glad with joy from thy presence.
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 kindness of the Most High shall he 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.
Thy hand will reach all thy enemies: thy right hand will reach 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 wilt render them as a fiery oven at the time of thy anger: the Lord in his wrath will destroy them, and a fire will devour them.
10 Ìwọ yóò pa ìrandíran wọn run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀, àti irú-ọmọ wọn kúrò láàrín àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn.
Their fruit wilt thou cause to perish 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 directed against thee evil: they devised a mischievous purpose, which they were 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.
For thou wilt make them turn their back; upon thy bow-strings thou wilt make ready [thy arrows] against their face.
13 Gbígbéga ni ọ́ Olúwa, nínú agbára rẹ; a ó kọrin, a ó yín agbára a rẹ̀.
Exalt thyself, O Lord, in thy strength; [and] we will sing and praise thy power.
