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 chief musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A psalm of David. A michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for men are attacking me! All the day long those who fight me press their assault.

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

My enemies trample me all day long; for there are many who arrogantly fight against me.

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

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

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, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man 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 twist my words; all their thoughts 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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.

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

Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.

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

You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?

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 my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; 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—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,

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

in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?

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

The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings to you.

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 you have rescued my life from death; you have kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
