Psalms 54

1 Fún adarí orin. Pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin olókùn. Maskili ti Dafidi. Nígbà tí àwọn ará Sifi lọ sọ fún Saulu pé, “Dafidi sá pamọ́ sọ́dọ̀ wa?” Gbà mí, Ọlọ́run nípa orúkọ rẹ: dá mi láre nípa agbára rẹ.

To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

2 Gbọ́ àdúrà mi, Ọlọ́run; fi etí sí ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi.

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 Àwọn agbéraga àlejò dìde sí mí. Àwọn aninilára sì ń wá mi láti pa, àwọn ẹni tí kò ka Ọlọ́run sí ní ojú wọn.

For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Kíyèsi i Ọlọ́run ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ mi; Olúwa ní ẹni tí ó mú mi dúró, pa wọ́n run nínú òtítọ́ rẹ.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

5 Jẹ́ kí ibi padà sẹ́yìn sí àwọn tí ń sọ̀rọ̀ ìbàjẹ́ sí mi; pa wọ́n run nínú òtítọ́ rẹ.

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

6 Èmí yóò rú ẹbọ àtinúwá sí ọ, èmi yóò yin orúkọ rẹ, Olúwa, nítorí tí ó dára.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

7 Nítorí tí ó yọ mí kúrò nínú ibi gbogbo ojú mi ti wo ìṣẹ́gun lórí ọ̀tá mi.

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
