1 Tí Dafidi. Nígbà tí ó díbọ́n bí ẹni tí ń ṣe wèrè níwájú Abimeleki, ẹni tí ó lé e lọ, ó sì jáde lọ. Èmi yóò máa fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa nígbà gbogbo; ìyìn rẹ̀ yóò máa wà ní ẹnu mi títí láé.
A psalm of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out. I will praise Yahweh at all times, his praise will always be in my mouth.
2 Ọkàn mí yóò máa ṣògo nínú Olúwa; jẹ́ kí àwọn onírẹ̀lẹ̀ gbọ́ kí inú wọn kí ó sì máa dùn.
I will praise Yahweh! May the oppressed hear and rejoice.
3 Gbé Olúwa ga pẹ̀lú mi; kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí a jọ gbé orúkọ rẹ̀ lékè.
Praise Yahweh with me, let us lift up his name together.
4 Èmi wá Olúwa, ó sì dá mi lóhùn; Ó sì gbà mí kúrò nínú ìbẹ̀rù mi gbogbo.
I sought Yahweh and he answered me, and he gave me victory over all my fears.
5 Wọ́n wò ó, ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì mọ́ wọn; ojú kò sì tì wọ́n.
Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.
6 Ọkùnrin olùpọ́njú yí kígbe, Olúwa sì gbóhùn rẹ̀; ó sì gbà á là kúrò nínú gbogbo ìpọ́njú rẹ̀.
This oppressed man cried and Yahweh heard him and saved him from all his troubles.
7 Angẹli Olúwa yí àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ká ó sì gbà wọ́n.
The angel of Yahweh camps around those who fear him and rescues them.
8 Tọ́ ọ wò kí o sì rí i wí pé Olúwa dára; ẹni ayọ̀ ni ọkùnrin náà tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ààbò nínú rẹ̀.
Taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Ẹ bẹ̀rù Olúwa, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn rẹ̀ mímọ́, nítorí pé kò sí àìní fún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
Fear Yahweh, you his holy people. There is no lack for those who fear him.
10 Àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún a máa ṣe aláìní ebi a sì máa pa wọ́n; ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó wá Olúwa kì yóò ṣe aláìní ohun tí ó dára.
The young lions sometimes lack food and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh will not lack anything good.
11 Wá, ẹ̀yin ọmọ mi, fi etí sí mi; èmi yóò kọ́ ọ yín ní ẹ̀rù Olúwa.
Come, sons, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Ta ni nínú yín tí ń fẹ́ ìyè, tí ó sì ń fẹ́ ọjọ́ púpọ̀; kí ó lè gbádùn ọjọ́ rere?
What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Pa ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò nínú ibi àti ètè rẹ̀ kúrò ní ẹ̀tàn sísọ.
Then keep your tongue from evil and keep your lips from speaking lies.
14 Yà kúrò nínú ibi kí o sì ṣe rere; wá àlàáfíà, kí o sì lépa rẹ̀.
Turn away from evil and do good. Seek peace and go after it.
15 Ojú Olúwa ń bẹ lára àwọn olódodo; etí i rẹ̀ sì ṣí sí ẹkún wọn.
The eyes of Yahweh are on the righteous and his ears are directed toward their cry.
16 Ojú Olúwa korò sí àwọn tí ń ṣe búburú; láti ké ìrántí wọn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
The face of Yahweh is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 Nígbà tí olódodo bá ké fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, Olúwa a máa gbọ́, a sì yọ wọ́n jáde láti inú gbogbo wàhálà wọn.
The righteous cry out and Yahweh hears and he rescues them from all their troubles.
18 Olúwa súnmọ́ etí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn oníròbìnújẹ́ ọkàn; ó sì gba irú àwọn tí í ṣe oníròra ọkàn là.
Yahweh is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 Ìpọ́njú àwọn olódodo pọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa gbà wọ́n kúrò nínú gbogbo rẹ̀.
Many are the troubles of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers them out of them all.
20 Ó pa gbogbo egungun wọn mọ́; kò sí ọ̀kan tí ó dá nínú wọn.
He keeps all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
21 Ibi ni ó mú ikú ìkà wá, àti àwọn tí ó kórìíra olódodo ni yóò jẹ̀bi.
Evil will kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 Olúwa ra ọkàn àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ padà; kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí yóò jẹ̀bi.
Yahweh rescues the lives of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
