Psalms 56

1 Fún adarí orin. Ti ohùn “Àdàbà lórí Óákù òkè réré.” Ti Dafidi. Miktamu. Nígbà tí àwọn ará Filistini ka mọ́ ní Gati. Ṣàánú fún mi, Ọlọ́run, nítorí àwọn ènìyàn ń fi ìgbónára lépa mi; ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ni wọn ń kọjú ìjà sí mi, wọn ń ni mi lára.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

2 Àwọn ọ̀tá mi ń lé mi ní gbogbo ọjọ́, àwọn ènìyàn ń kọjú ìjà sí mi nínú ìgbéraga wọn.

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 Nígbà tí ẹ̀rù bà ń bà mí, èmi o gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in thee.

4 Nínú Ọlọ́run èmi yóò máa yìn ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ, nínú Ọlọ́run ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi; ẹ̀rù kì yóò bà mí kí ni ẹran-ara lè ṣe sí mi?

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

5 Wọn ń yí ọ̀rọ̀ mí ní gbogbo ọjọ́, wọn ń gbèrò nígbà gbogbo láti ṣe mí níbi.

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

6 Wọn kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n ba. Wọ́n ń ṣọ́ ìgbésẹ̀ mi wọn ń làkàkà láti gba ẹ̀mí mi.

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

7 San ẹ̀san iṣẹ́ búburú wọ́n fún wọn; ní ìbínú rẹ, Ọlọ́run, wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn náà bọ́ sílẹ̀.

Thou wilt on no account save them; thou wilt bring down the people in wrath.

8 Kọ ẹkún mi sílẹ̀; kó omijé mi sí ìgò rẹ, wọ́n kò ha sí nínú ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ rẹ bí?

O God, I have declared my life to thee; thou has set my tears before thee, even according to thy promise.

9 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọ̀tá mi yóò pẹ̀yìndà nígbà tí mo bá pè fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ nípa èyí ni mo mọ̀ pé Ọlọ́run ń bẹ fún mi.

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon thee; behold, I know that thou art my God.

10 Nínú Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí mo yìn ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ nínú Olúwa, ẹni tí mo yin ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀,

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

11 nínú Ọlọ́run ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi: ẹ̀rù kì yóò bà mí. Kí ni ènìyàn lè ṣe sí mi?

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

12 Mo jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ lábẹ́ rẹ Ọlọ́run: èmi o mú ìyìn mi wá fún ọ.

The vows of thy praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

13 Nítorí ìwọ tí gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ikú àti ẹsẹ̀ mi lọ́wọ́ ìṣubú, kí èmí lè máa rìn níwájú Ọlọ́run ní ìmọ́lẹ̀ àwọn alààyè.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
