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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Tẹ́ etí rẹ sí mi, gbà mí kíákíá; jẹ́ àpáta ààbò mi, jẹ́ odi alágbára láti gbà mí.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defence 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 you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Yọ mí jáde kúrò nínú àwọ̀n tí wọ́n dẹ pamọ́ fún mi, nítorí ìwọ ni ìsádi mi.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 Ní ọwọ́ rẹ ni mo fi ẹ̀mí mi lé; ìwọ ni o ti rà mí padà, Olúwa, Ọlọ́run òtítọ́.
Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.
6 Èmi ti kórìíra àwọn ẹni tí ń fiyèsí òrìṣà tí kò níye lórí; ṣùgbọ́n èmi gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust 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 be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Pẹ̀lú, ìwọ kò sì fà mi lé àwọn ọ̀tá lọ́wọ́ ìwọ ti fi ẹsẹ̀ mi lé ibi ààyè ńlá.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Ṣàánú fún mi, ìwọ Olúwa, nítorí mo wà nínú ìpọ́njú; ojú mi fi ìbìnújẹ́ sùn, ọkàn àti ara mi pẹ̀lú.
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
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 sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
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.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbours, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street 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 am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
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 have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n èmí gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ, ìwọ Olúwa; mo sọ wí pé, “Ìwọ ní Ọlọ́run mi.”
But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 Ìgbà mi ń bẹ ní ọwọ́ rẹ; gbà mí kúrò ní ọwọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá mi àti àwọn onínúnibíni.
My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ kí ó tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lára; gbà mí nínú ìfẹ́ rẹ tí ó dúró ṣinṣin.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
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)
Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ètè irọ́ kí ó dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, pẹ̀lú ìgbéraga àti ìkẹ́gàn, wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ àfojúdi sí olódodo.
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
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.
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before 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.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife 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.
Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvellous loving kindness in a strong 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.
As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Ẹ fẹ́ Olúwa, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́! Olúwa pa olódodo mọ́, ó sì san án padà fún agbéraga ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́.
Oh love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Jẹ́ alágbára, yóò sì mú yín ní àyà le gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ó dúró de Olúwa.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
