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.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

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 causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.

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 puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

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.

O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

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.

You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

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 present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

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 have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,

8 Mo ní inú dídùn láti ṣe ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ, ìwọ Ọlọ́run mi, òfin rẹ̀ ń bẹ ní àyà mi.”

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my 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 proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

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 concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

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.

You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.

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 surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

13 Jẹ́ kí ó wù ọ́, ìwọ Olúwa, láti gbà mí là; Olúwa, yára láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.

Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

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.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

15 Jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó wí fún mi pé, “Háà! Háà!” ó di ẹni à fi ọwọ́ rọ́ sẹ́yìn nítorí ìtìjú wọn.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

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!”

All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is 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.

And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
