Psalms 25
1 Ti Dafidi. Olúwa, ìwọ ni mo gbé ọkàn mi sókè sí.
A Psalm of David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
2 Ọlọ́run, èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú ó tì mí má ṣe jẹ́ kí àwọn ọ̀tá mi ó yọ̀ mí.
O my God, I have trusted in thee: let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies laugh me to scorn.
3 Ẹni tí ó dúró tì ọ́ ojú kì yóò tì í, àwọn tí ń ṣẹ̀ láìnídìí ni kí ojú kí ó tì.
For none of them that wait on thee shall in any wise be ashamed: let them be ashamed that transgress without cause.
4 Fi ọ̀nà rẹ hàn mí, Olúwa, kọ mi ní ipa tìrẹ;
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; and teach me thy paths.
5 ṣe amọ̀nà mi nínú òtítọ́ ọ̀ rẹ, kí o sì kọ́ mi, nítorí ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run ìgbàlà mi; ìwọ ni mo dúró tì ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art God my Saviour: and I have waited on thee all the day.
6 Rántí, Olúwa àánú àti ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ̀ ńlá, torí pé wọ́n ti wà ní ìgbà àtijọ́.
Remember thy compassions, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.
7 Má ṣe rántí àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ìgbà èwe mi tàbí ìrékọjá mi; gẹ́gẹ́ bí i ìfẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ rántí mi nítorí tí ìwọ dára, Ìwọ! Olúwa.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor [my sins] of ignorance: remember me according to thy mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 Rere àti ẹni ìdúró ṣinṣin ní Olúwa: nítorí náà, ó kọ́ àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni ọ̀nà náà.
Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he instruct sinners in [the] way.
9 Ó ṣe amọ̀nà àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ni ohun tí ó dára, ó sì kọ́ àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
The meek will he guide in judgment: the meek will he teach his ways.
10 Gbogbo ipa ọ̀nà Olúwa ni ìfẹ́ àti òdodo tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, fún àwọn tí ó pa májẹ̀mú àti ẹ̀rí rẹ̀ mọ́.
All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth to them that seek his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Nítorí orúkọ rẹ, Olúwa, dárí ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi jì mí, nítorí tí ó tóbi.
For thy name's sake, O Lord, do thou also be merciful to my sin; for it is great.
12 Àwọn wo ni ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa? Yóò kọ́ wọn ní ọ̀nà èyí tí wọn yóò yàn.
Who is the man that fears the Lord? he shall instruct him in the way which he has chosen.
13 Wọn yóò lo ọjọ́ wọn nínú àlàáfíà, àwọn ọmọ wọn yóò sì gba ilẹ̀ náà.
His soul shall dwell in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 Olúwa fi ọkàn tán, àwọn tí o bẹ̀rù u rẹ̀; ó sọ májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún wọn.
The Lord is the strength of them that fear him; and his covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.
15 Ojú mi gbé sókè sọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, nítorí pé yóò yọ ẹsẹ̀ mi kúrò nínú àwọ̀n náà.
Mine eyes are continually to the Lord; for he shall draw my feet out of the snare.
16 Yípadà sí mi, kí o sì ṣe oore fún mi; nítorí pé mo nìkan wà, mo sì di olùpọ́njú.
Look upon me, and have mercy upon me; for I am an only child and poor.
17 Tì mí lẹ́yìn kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú àyà mi; kí o sì fà mí yọ kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú mi.
The afflictions of my heart have been multiplied; deliver me from my distresses.
18 Kíyèsi ìjìyà àti wàhálà mi, kí o sì dárí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi jì.
Look upon mine affliction and my trouble; and forgive all my sins.
19 Kíyèsi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ọ̀tá mi, tí wọn kórìíra mi pẹ̀lú ìwà ìkà wọn.
Look upon mine enemies; for they have been multiplied; and they have hated me with unjust hatred.
20 Pa ọkàn mi mọ́, kí o sì gbà mí sílẹ̀; má ṣe jẹ́ kí a fi mí sínú ìtìjú, nítorí pé ìwọ ni ibi ìsádi mi.
Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I have hoped in thee.
21 Jẹ́ kí òtítọ́ inú àti ìdúró ṣinṣin kí ó pa mí mọ́; nítorí pé mo dúró tì ọ́.
The harmless and upright joined themselves to me: for I waited for thee, O Lord.
22 Ra Israẹli padà, Ìwọ Ọlọ́run, nínú gbogbo ìṣòro rẹ̀!
Deliver Israel, O God, out of all his afflictions.
