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. Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, [if] thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down 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 the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness.
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.
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.
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 them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert.
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.
For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Alábùkún fún ni Olúwa! Nítorí pé ó ti gbọ́ ohùn ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi.
Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
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.
Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him.
8 Olúwa ni agbára àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ òun ni odi ìgbàlà àwọn ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀.
Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one.
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.
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.
