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.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David: when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy might.

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

Hear my prayer, O God; 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 violent men have sought after my soul: 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 mine helper: the Lord is of 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 shall requite the evil unto mine enemies: destroy thou them in thy truth.

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

With a freewill offering will I sacrifice unto thee: I will give thanks unto thy name, O LORD, for 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 [my desire] upon mine enemies.
