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.

“To the chief musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, by David, a Michtham, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.” Be gracious unto me, O God; for man longeth to swallow me up; all the time he oppresseth me fighting.

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

Those that regard me with envy long to swallow [me] up all the time; for many are they that fight against me, O thou Most High.

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

The day [when] I am afraid, I will still 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 will I praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can flesh do unto me?

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

All the day they wrest my words: against me are all their thoughts for evil.

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

They come together in troops, they hide themselves, they are those that watch my heels, as though they hoped [to take] my soul.

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

Because of their wrong-doing let me escape from them: in anger cast down the people, O God.

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

My wanderings hast thou well numbered: put thou my tears into thy bottle; behold, they are numbered by thee.

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.

Then shall my enemies retire backward on the day when I call [on thee]: this I know—that God is for me.

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

In God will I praise the word: in the Lord will I praise the word.

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

In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can man do unto me?

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

Upon me, O God, [rest] thy vows: I will pay thanksgiving offerings unto thee.

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—yea, behold, my feet from slipping, that I may walk before God in the light of the life.
