Psalms 23

1 Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa ni olùṣọ́ èmi àgùntàn rẹ̀, èmi kì yóò ṣe aláìní.

A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

2 Ó mú mi dùbúlẹ̀ sí ibi pápá oko tútù, Ó mú mi lọ sí ibi omi dídákẹ́ rọ́rọ́,

He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

3 Ó mú ọkàn mi padà bọ̀ sípò. Ó mú mi lọ sí ọ̀nà òdodo nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.

He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

4 Bí mo tilẹ̀ ń rìn láàrín àfonífojì òjìji ikú, èmi kì yóò bẹ̀rù ibi kan, nítorí ìwọ wà pẹ̀lú mi; ọ̀gọ rẹ àti ọ̀pá à rẹ, wọ́n ń tù mí nínú.

For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

5 Ìwọ tẹ́ tábìlì oúnjẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú mi ní ojú àwọn ọ̀tá à mi. Ìwọ ta òróró sí mi ní orí; ago mí sì kún àkúnwọ́sílẹ̀.

You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

6 Nítòótọ́, ìre àti àánú ni yóò máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn ní ọjọ́ ayé è mi gbogbo, èmi yóò sì máa gbé inú ilé Olúwa títí láéláé.

And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.
