Psalms 40
1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Mo fi pẹ̀lẹ́pẹ̀lẹ́ dúró de Olúwa; ó sì dẹtí sí mi, ó sì gbọ́ ẹkún mi.
For the end, a Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the Lord; and he attended to me, and listened to my supplication.
2 Ó fà mí yọ gòkè láti inú ihò ìparun, láti inú ẹrẹ̀ pọ̀tọ̀pọ́tọ̀, ó sì fi ẹsẹ̀ mi lé orí àpáta, ó sì jẹ́ kí ìgbésẹ̀ mi wà láìfòyà.
And he brought me up out of a pit of misery, and from miry clay: and he set my feet on a rock, and ordered my goings aright.
3 Ó fi orin tuntun sí mi lẹ́nu, àní orin ìyìn sí Ọlọ́run wa. Ọ̀pọ̀ yóò rí i wọn yóò sì bẹ̀rù, wọn yóò sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa.
And he put a new song into my mouth, [even] a hymn to our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall hope in the Lord.
4 Ayọ̀ ni fún àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ó fi Olúwa ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé wọn tí wọn kò sì yípadà sí agbéraga, tàbí àwọn tí ó yapa lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọlọ́run mìíràn.
Blessed [is] the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and [who] has not regarded vanities and false frenzies.
5 Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu tí ìwọ ti ṣe. Àwọn ohun tí ìwọ ti ṣètò sílẹ̀ fún wa; ni ẹnikẹ́ni kò le kà wọ́n fún ọ lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, tí èmi yóò sì sọ̀rọ̀ wọn, wọ́n ju ohun tí ènìyàn le è kà lọ.
O Lord my God, you have multiplied your wonderful works, and in your thoughts there is none who shall be likened to you: I declared and spoke [of them]: they exceeded number.
6 Ẹbọ àti ẹran ẹbọ ni ìwọ kò fẹ́, ìwọ ti ṣí mi ní etí. Ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò béèrè.
Sacrifice and offering you would not; but a body have you prepared me: whole burnt offering and [sacrifice] for sin you did not require.
7 Nígbà náà ni mo wí pé, “Èmi nìyí; nínú ìwé kíká ni a kọ ọ nípa tèmi wí pé.
Then I said, Behold, I come: in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,
8 Mo ní inú dídùn láti ṣe ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ, ìwọ Ọlọ́run mi, òfin rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní àyà mi.”
I desired to do your will, O my God, and your law in the midst of mine heart.
9 Èmi ti sọ ìròyìn ayọ̀ ti ìgbàlà láàrín àwùjọ ńlá; wò ó, èmi kò pa ètè mi mọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti mọ̀, ìwọ Olúwa.
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation; behold! I will not refrain my lips; O Lord, you know my righteousness.
10 Èmi kò fi ìrànlọ́wọ́ ìgbàlà sin ní àyà mi; èmí ti sọ̀rọ̀ nípa òtítọ́ àti ìgbàlà rẹ. Èmi kò sì pa ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti òtítọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ kúrò láàrín àwọn ìjọ ńlá.
I have not hid your truth within my heart, and I have declared your salvation; I have not hid your mercy and your truth from the great congregation.
11 Ìwọ má ṣe, fa àánú rẹ tí ó rọ́nú sẹ́yìn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi Olúwa; jẹ́ kí ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ àti òtítọ́ rẹ kí ó máa pa mi mọ́ títí ayérayé.
But you, Lord, remove not your compassion far from me; your mercy and your truth have helped me continually.
12 Nítorí pé àìníye ibi ni ó yí mi káàkiri, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi sì dì mọ́ mi, títí tí èmi kò fi ríran mọ́; wọ́n pọ̀ ju irun orí mi lọ, àti wí pé àyà mí ti kùnà.
For innumerable evils have encompassed me; my transgressions have taken hold of me, and I could not see; they are multiplied more than the hairs of my head; and my heart has failed me.
13 Jẹ́ kí ó wù ọ́, ìwọ Olúwa, láti gbà mí là; Olúwa, yára láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, draw near to help me.
14 Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀n-ọn-nì ni kí ojú kí ó tì kí wọn kí ó sì dààmú; àwọn tí ń wá ọkàn mi láti parun jẹ́ kí a lé wọn padà sẹ́yìn kí a sì dójútì wọ́n, àwọn tí ń wá ìpalára mi.
Let those that seek my soul, to destroy it, be ashamed and confounded together; let those that wish me evil be turned backward and put to shame.
15 Jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó wí fún mi pé, “Háà! Háà!” ó di ẹni à fi ọwọ́ rọ́ sẹ́yìn nítorí ìtìjú wọn.
Let those that say to me, Aha, aha, quickly receive shame for their reward.
16 Jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ń wá ọ kí ó máa yọ̀ kí inú wọn sì máa dùn sí ọ; kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó sì fẹ́ ìgbàlà rẹ kí o máa wí nígbà gbogbo pé, “Gbígbéga ni Olúwa!”
Let all those that seek you, O Lord, exult and rejoice in you; and let them that love your salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
17 Bí ó ṣe ti èmi ni, tálákà àti aláìní ni èmi, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ń ṣe ìrántí mi. Ìwọ ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ mi àti ìgbàlà mi; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ó pẹ́, ìwọ Ọlọ́run mi.
But I am poor and needy; the Lord will take care of me; you are my helper, and my defender, O my God, delay not.
