1 Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Ti Olúwa ni ilẹ̀, àti ẹ̀kún rẹ̀, ayé àti àwọn tí ó tẹ̀dó sínú rẹ̀;

Of David. A psalm. The earth is the Lord’s and all that it holds, the world and those who live in it.

2 nítorí ó fi ìpìlẹ̀ rẹ̀ lélẹ̀ lórí òkun ó sì gbé e kalẹ̀ lórí àwọn ìṣàn omi.

For he founded it on the seas, and on the floods he sustains it.

3 Ta ni yóò gun orí òkè Olúwa lọ? Ta ni yóò dúró ní ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀?

Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 Ẹni tí ó ní ọwọ́ mímọ́ àti àyà funfun, ẹni tí kò gbé ọkàn rẹ̀ sókè sí asán tí kò sì búra èké.

The clean of hands, the pure of heart, who sets not their heart upon sinful things, nor swears with intent to deceive:

5 Òun ni yóò rí ìbùkún gbà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, àti òdodo lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run ìgbàlà rẹ̀.

they win from the Lord a blessing: God is their champion and savior.

6 Èyí ni ìran àwọn tí ń ṣe àfẹ́rí rẹ̀, tí ń ṣe àfẹ́rí rẹ̀, Ọlọ́run Jakọbu. (Sela)

Such must be those who resort to him, and seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)
