Psalms 31
1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Nínú rẹ̀, Olúwa ni mo ti rí ààbò; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú kí ó tì mí; gbà mí nínú òdodo rẹ.
For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
2 Tẹ́ etí rẹ sí mi, gbà mí kíákíá; jẹ́ àpáta ààbò mi, jẹ́ odi alágbára láti gbà mí.
Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
3 Ìwọ pàápàá ni àpáta àti ààbò mi, nítorí orúkọ rẹ, máa ṣe olùtọ́ mi, kí o sì ṣe amọ̀nà mi.
For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me.
4 Yọ mí jáde kúrò nínú àwọ̀n tí wọ́n dẹ pamọ́ fún mi, nítorí ìwọ ni ìsádi mi.
Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.
5 Ní ọwọ́ rẹ ni mo fi ẹ̀mí mi lé; ìwọ ni o ti rà mí padà, Olúwa, Ọlọ́run òtítọ́.
Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6 Èmi ti kórìíra àwọn ẹni tí ń fiyèsí òrìṣà tí kò níye lórí; ṣùgbọ́n èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
Thou has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
7 Èmi yóò yọ̀, inú mi yóò dùn nínú ìfẹ́ ńlá rẹ, nítorí ìwọ ti rí ìbìnújẹ́ mi ìwọ ti mọ̀ ọkàn mi nínú ìpọ́njú.
I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.
8 Pẹ̀lú, ìwọ kò sì fà mi lé àwọn ọ̀tá lọ́wọ́ ìwọ ti fi ẹsẹ̀ mi lé ibi ààyè ńlá.
And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
9 Ṣàánú fún mi, ìwọ Olúwa, nítorí mo wà nínú ìpọ́njú; ojú mi fi ìbìnújẹ́ sùn, ọkàn àti ara mi pẹ̀lú.
Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
10 Èmi fi ìbànújẹ́ lo ọjọ́ mi àti àwọn ọdún mi pẹ̀lú ìmí ẹ̀dùn; agbára mi ti kùnà nítorí òsì mi, egungun mi sì ti rún dànù.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
11 Èmi di ẹni ẹ̀gàn láàrín àwọn ọ̀tá mi gbogbo, pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú láàrín àwọn aládùúgbò mi, mo sì di ẹ̀rù fún àwọn ojúlùmọ̀ mi; àwọn tí ó rí mi ní òde ń yẹra fún mi.
I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
12 Èmi ti di ẹni ìgbàgbé kúrò ní ọkàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí ó ti kú; èmi sì dàbí ohun èlò tí ó ti fọ́.
I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
13 Nítorí mo gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìpayà tí ó yí mi ká; tí wọn gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ sí mi, wọ́n sì ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi láti gba ẹ̀mí mi.
For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n èmí gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ, ìwọ Olúwa; mo sọ wí pé, “Ìwọ ní Ọlọ́run mi.”
But I hoped in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 Ìgbà mi ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ; gbà mí kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi àti àwọn onínúnibíni.
My lots are in thy hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
16 Jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ kí ó tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lára; gbà mí nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ tí ó dúró ṣinṣin.
and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.
17 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú ki ó tì mí, Olúwa; nítorí pé mo ké pè ọ́; jẹ́ kí ojú kí ó ti ènìyàn búburú; jẹ́ kí wọ́n lọ pẹ̀lú ìdààmú sí isà òkú. (Sheol h7585)
O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon thee: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
18 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ètè irọ́ kí ó dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, pẹ̀lú ìgbéraga àti ìkẹ́gàn, wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ àfojúdi sí olódodo.
Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
19 Báwo ni títóbi oore rẹ̀ ti pọ̀ tó, èyí tí ìwọ ti ní ní ìpamọ́ fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ, èyí tí ìwọ rọ̀jò rẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n fi ọ́ ṣe ibi ìsádi wọn.
How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought [it] out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.
20 Ní abẹ́ ìbòòji iwájú rẹ ni ìwọ pa wọ́n mọ́ sí kúrò nínú ìdìmọ̀lù àwọn ènìyàn; ní ibùgbé rẹ, o mú wọn kúrò nínú ewu kúrò nínú ìjà ahọ́n.
Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
21 Olùbùkún ni Olúwa, nítorí pé ó ti fi àgbà ìyanu ìfẹ́ tí ó ní sí mi hàn, nígbà tí mo wà ní ìlú tí wọ́n rọ̀gbà yíká.
Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
22 Èmí ti sọ nínú ìdágìrì mi, “A gé mi kúrò ní ojú rẹ!” Síbẹ̀ ìwọ ti gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi fún àánú nígbà tí mo ké pè ọ́ fún ìrànlọ́wọ́.
But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of thine eyes: therefore thou didst hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to thee.
23 Ẹ fẹ́ Olúwa, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́! Olúwa pa olódodo mọ́, ó sì san án padà fún agbéraga ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́.
Love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
24 Jẹ́ alágbára, yóò sì mú yín ní àyà le gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ó dúró de Olúwa.
Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
