Psalms 5

1 Fún adarí orin. Fún ohun èlò orin fífọn. Saamu ti Dafidi. Fi etí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, Olúwa, kíyèsi àròyé mi.

For the Leader; upon the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)

2 Fi etí sílẹ̀ sí igbe mi fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, ọba mi àti Ọlọ́run mi, nítorí ìwọ ni mo gba àdúrà sí.

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; for unto Thee do I pray.

3 Ní òwúrọ̀, Olúwa, ìwọ yóò gbọ́ ohùn mi; ní òwúrọ̀, èmi yóò gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi sí iwájú rẹ̀ èmi yóò sì dúró ní ìrètí.

O LORD, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order my prayer unto Thee, and will look forward.

4 Nítorí ìwọ kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run tí ó ní inú dídùn sí búburú; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni ibi kò le è bá ọ gbé.

For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with Thee.

5 Àwọn agbéraga kò le è dúró níwájú rẹ̀. Ìwọ kórìíra gbogbo àwọn aṣebi;

The boasters shall not stand in Thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 ìwọ yóò pa àwọn tí ń ṣe èké run. Apani àti ẹni ẹ̀tàn ènìyàn ni Olúwa yóò kórìíra.

Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; the LORD abhorreth the man of blood and of deceit.

7 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi, nípa títóbi àánú rẹ̀, èmi yóò wá sínú ilé rẹ̀; ní tọ̀wọ̀tọ̀wọ̀ ni èmi yóò tẹríba sí ìhà tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ̀.

But as for me, in the abundance of Thy lovingkindness will I come into Thy house; I will bow down toward Thy holy temple in the fear of Thee.

8 Tọ́ mi, Olúwa, nínú òdodo rẹ, nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi, mú ọ̀nà rẹ tọ́ níwájú mi.

O LORD, lead me in Thy righteousness because of them that lie in wait for me; make Thy way straight before my face.

9 Kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ kan ní ẹnu wọn tí a lè gbàgbọ́; ọkàn wọn kún fún ìparun. Ọ̀nà ọ̀fun wọn ni isà òkú tí ó ṣí sílẹ̀; pẹ̀lú ahọ́n wọn ni wọ́n ń sọ ẹ̀tàn.

For there is no sincerity in their mouth; their inward part is a yawning gulf, their throat is an open sepulchre; they make smooth their tongue.

10 Dá wọn lẹ́bi Ọlọ́run! Jẹ́ kí rìkíṣí wọn jẹ́ ìṣubú wọn. Lé wọn jáde nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn, nítorí wọ́n ti ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọ.

Hold them guilty, O God, let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against Thee.

11 Ṣùgbọ́n, jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó sádi ọ́ kí ó yọ̀; jẹ kí wọn máa kọrin fún ayọ̀ títí. Tan ààbò rẹ sórí wọn, àti àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn orúkọ rẹ yóò máa yọ̀ nínú rẹ.

So shall all those that take refuge in Thee rejoice, they shall ever shout for joy, and Thou shalt shelter them; let them also that love Thy name exult in Thee.

12 Dájúdájú, Olúwa, ìwọ bùkún olódodo; ìwọ fi ojúrere rẹ yí wọn ká bí asà.

For Thou dost bless the righteous; O LORD, Thou dost encompass him with favour as with a shield.
