Psalms 28
1 Ti Dafidi. Ìwọ Olúwa, mo ké pe àpáta mi. Má ṣe kọ etí dídi sí mi. Tí ìwọ bá dákẹ́ sí mi, èmí yóò dàbí àwọn tí ó lọ sí ọ̀gbun.
A Psalm of David himself. To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.
2 Gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi fún àánú, bí mo ṣe ń ké pè ọ́ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, bí mo ṣe gbé àwọn ọwọ́ mi sókè sí Ibi Mímọ́ rẹ Jùlọ.
Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.
3 Má ṣe fà mí lọ pẹ̀lú ènìyàn búburú àti, pẹ̀lú àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà sí aládùúgbò wọn ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwà ìkà ń bẹ nínú wọn.
Do not draw me away together with sinners; and let me not perish with those who work iniquity, who speak peacefully to their neighbor, yet evils are in their hearts.
4 San ẹ̀san wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ wọn àti fún iṣẹ́ ibi wọn; gba ẹ̀san wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn; kí o sì san ẹ̀san wọn bí ó ti tọ́.
Give to them according to their works and according to the wickedness of their inventions. Assign to them according to the works of their hands. Repay them with their own retribution.
5 Nítorí pé wọn kò ka iṣẹ́ Olúwa sí, tàbí àwọn iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ òun ó rún wọn wọlẹ̀ kì yóò sì gbé wọn ró mọ́.
Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.
6 Alábùkún fún ni Olúwa! Nítorí pé ó ti gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi.
Blessed is the Lord, for he has heard the voice of my supplication.
7 Olúwa ni agbára mi àti asà mi; nínú rẹ̀ ni mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé; àní, ó sì ràn mí lọ́wọ́. Ọkàn mi sì gbé sókè fún ayọ̀ àní pẹ̀lú orin mi mo fi ọpẹ́ fún un.
The Lord is my helper and my protector. In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped. And my flesh has flourished again. And from my will, I shall confess to him.
8 Olúwa ni agbára àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ òun ni odi ìgbàlà àwọn ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀.
The Lord is the strength of his people and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.
9 Ìwọ gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ là, kí o sì bùkún àwọn ajogún rẹ; di olùṣọ́-àgùntàn wọn, kí o sì gbé wọn lékè títí ayérayé.
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
