1 Ti Dafidi. Olúwa, ìwọ ni mo gbé ọkàn mi sókè sí.
A psalm of David. Lord, I come to worship you.
2 Ọlọ́run, èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú ó tì mí má ṣe jẹ́ kí àwọn ọ̀tá mi ó yọ̀ mí.
I trust in you, my God. Don't let me be humiliated, and don't let my enemies triumph over me.
3 Ẹni tí ó dúró tì ọ́ ojú kì yóò tì í, àwọn tí ń ṣẹ̀ láìnídìí ni kí ojú kí ó tì.
No one who trusts in you will be humiliated, but humiliation comes to those who are deliberately dishonest.
4 Fi ọ̀nà rẹ hàn mí, Olúwa, kọ mi ní ipa tìrẹ;
Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your 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 your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.
6 Rántí, Olúwa àánú àti ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ̀ ńlá, torí pé wọ́n ti wà ní ìgbà àtijọ́.
Remember, Lord, your compassion and trustworthy love—they are eternal!

Please don't remember the sins of my youth when I rebelled against you. Instead, remember me according to your trustworthy love, remember me because of your goodness, Lord.
8 Rere àti ẹni ìdúró ṣinṣin ní Olúwa: nítorí náà, ó kọ́ àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ ni ọ̀nà náà.
The Lord is good and he is right; that is why he shows the way to those who are lost.
9 Ó ṣe amọ̀nà àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ni ohun tí ó dára, ó sì kọ́ àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
He leads those who are humble in doing what's right, teaching them his way.
10 Gbogbo ipa ọ̀nà Olúwa ni ìfẹ́ àti òdodo tí ó dúró ṣinṣin, fún àwọn tí ó pa májẹ̀mú àti ẹ̀rí rẹ̀ mọ́.
The Lord's paths are those of trustworthy love and truth for those who keep his agreement and do as he says.
11 Nítorí orúkọ rẹ, Olúwa, dárí ẹ̀bi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi jì mí, nítorí tí ó tóbi.
Lord, because of your nature, forgive my many sins.
12 Àwọn wo ni ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa? Yóò kọ́ wọn ní ọ̀nà èyí tí wọn yóò yàn.
Who are those who respect the Lord? He will show them the path to choose.
13 Wọn yóò lo ọjọ́ wọn nínú àlàáfíà, àwọn ọmọ wọn yóò sì gba ilẹ̀ náà.
They will continue to be prosperous, and their descendants will inherit the land.
14 Olúwa fi ọkàn tán, àwọn tí o bẹ̀rù u rẹ̀; ó sọ májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún wọn.
The Lord is friends with those who respect him, explaining to them his agreement.
15 Ojú mi gbé sókè sọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, nítorí pé yóò yọ ẹsẹ̀ mi kúrò nínú àwọ̀n náà.
I always look to the Lord, for he rescues me when I'm trapped.
16 Yípadà sí mi, kí o sì ṣe oore fún mi; nítorí pé mo nìkan wà, mo sì di olùpọ́njú.
Watch over me and be good to me, because I am all alone and suffering.
17 Tì mí lẹ́yìn kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú àyà mi; kí o sì fà mí yọ kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú mi.

Look at how many enemies I have, and how they really hate me!

Please look after me and save me! Don't let me be humiliated, for you are the one who protects me.

May integrity and honesty defend me because I place my confidence in you.

God, please deliver the people of Israel from all their troubles!
