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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard 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.

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

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.

He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust 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 who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away 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.

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are towards us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

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 didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

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. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

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

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, 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 glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

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 hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from 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.

Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve 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, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. 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, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

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 them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour who delight in my hurt.

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

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell 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!”

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let the LORD be exalted!”

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. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.
