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!
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The king rejoiceth in thy strength, O LORD! Yea, he doth greatly exult in thy protection.
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 denied him the request of his lips. (Pause)
3 Ìwọ ti fi àwọn ìbùkún oore kò ó ni ọ̀nà ìwọ fi adé wúrà dé e ní orí.
Yea, thou hast met him with rich blessings, Thou hast placed a crown of pure gold upon his head.
4 Ó béèrè fún ìyè, ìwọ sì fi fún un, àní ọjọ́ gígùn títí ayérayé.
He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him; Even long life, enduring for 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 glory through thine aid; Honor 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.
Thou hast made him blessed for evermore; Thou hast made him glad with the joy of 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 goodness of the Most High he shall never fall.
8 Ọwọ́ rẹ yóò wá gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a rẹ rí; ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ yóò wá àwọn tí o kórìíra rẹ rí.
Thy hand shall overtake all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake them 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 make them like a burning oven in the time of thine anger; Jehovah 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 offspring shalt thou destroy from the earth, And their posterity from the sons 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 spread a net of mischief against thee; They devised plots against thee, but they did not prevail.
12 Nítorí pé ìwọ yóò mú wọn yí ẹ̀yìn wọn padà nígbà tí o bá pinnu láti ta wọ́n ní ọfà.
Therefore thou wilt cause them to turn their backs; Thou wilt make ready thine arrows upon the strings against them.
13 Gbígbéga ni ọ́ Olúwa, nínú agbára rẹ; a ó kọrin, a ó yín agbára a rẹ̀.
Exalt thyself, O LORD! by thy strength! So will we sing, and praise thy mighty deeds.
