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.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

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

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

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.

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

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

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

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

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

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

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

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

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
