Psalms 36
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa. Ìré-òfin-kọjá ènìyàn búburú jẹ́ kí n mọ̀ nínú ọkàn mi pé, ìbẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run kò sí níwájú wọn.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord.” To speak of the ungodliness of the wicked is in my heart. He hath no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Nítorí pé wọ́n pọ́n ara wọn ní ojú ara wọn títí tí a kò fi le rí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn láti kórìíra.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, Till his iniquity is found out and hated.
3 Ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu wọn ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ òhun ẹ̀tàn; wọ́n ti fi ọgbọ́n àti ṣíṣe rere sílẹ̀.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; He neglecteth to be wise and to do good.
4 Wọ́n gbìmọ̀ ìwà ìkà nígbà tí wọ́n wà lórí ibùsùn wọn: wọ́n gba ọ̀nà tí kò dára wọn kò sì kọ ọ̀nà ibi sílẹ̀.
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; He persevereth in an evil way; He abhorreth not sin.
5 Ìdúró ṣinṣin ìfẹ́ rẹ, ìwọ Olúwa, ó ga dé ọ̀run, òtítọ́ ọ̀ rẹ ga dé àwọsánmọ̀.
Thy goodness, O LORD! reacheth to the heavens, And thy faithfulness to the clouds;
6 Òdodo rẹ dàbí àwọn òkè Ọlọ́run, àwọn ìdájọ́ rẹ dàbí ibú ńlá; ìwọ gba ẹranko àti ènìyàn là, Olúwa.
Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep; Thou, O LORD! preservest man and beast!
7 Báwo ni ìṣeun ìdúró ṣinṣin ìfẹ́ rẹ ti tó! Ọlọ́run! Kí gbogbo ọmọ ènìyàn le sá sí abẹ́ òjìji ìyẹ́ rẹ.
How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! Yea, the sons of men seek refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Àsè ilé rẹ yóò tẹ́ wọn lọ́rùn gidigidi; ìwọ yóò sì mú wọn mu nínú odò inú dídùn rẹ.
They are satisfied with the abundance of thy house, And thou causest them to drink of the full stream of thy pleasures.
9 Nítorí pé pẹ̀lú rẹ ni orísun ìyè wà: nínú ìmọ́lẹ̀ rẹ ni àwa yóò rí ìmọ́lẹ̀.
For with thee is the fountain of life; Through thy light we see light.
10 Mú ìṣeun ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ sí àwọn tí ó mọ̀ ọ́n àti ìgbàlà rẹ sí àwọn tí ó ní ìdúró ṣinṣin ọkàn!
O continue thy loving-kindness to them that know thee, And thy favor to the upright in heart!
11 Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹsẹ̀ agbéraga kí ó wá sí orí mi, kí o má sì jẹ́ kí ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú sí mi ní ipò.
Let not the foot of the proud come upon me, Nor the hand of the wicked remove me!
12 Níbẹ̀ ni àwọn oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ gbé ṣubú sí: a rẹ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀, wọn kì yóò le è dìde!
Lo! already are the workers of iniquity fallen; They are cast down; they are unable to rise!
