Psalms 57
1 Fún adarí orin. Ní ohùn “Má ṣe parun.” Ti Dafidi. Miktamu. Nígbà tí ó sá níwájú Saulu lọ sínú ihò òkúta. Ṣàánú fún mi, Ọlọ́run, ṣàánú fún mi, nítorí nínú rẹ ni ààbò ọkàn mí wà. Èmi o fi ààbò mí sí ibi ìyẹ́ apá rẹ títí tí ewu yóò fi kọjá lọ.
God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
2 Mo kígbe sókè sí Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ, sí Ọlọ́run tó ń pa májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ mọ́ fún mi.
God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
3 Òun yóò ránṣẹ́ láti ọ̀run wá, yóò sì gbà mí, bí ẹni tí ń fẹ́ gbé mi mì tilẹ̀ ń kẹ́gàn mi. Ọlọ́run yóò rán àánú rẹ̀ àti òdodo rẹ̀ jáde.
You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
4 Mo wà ní àárín àwọn kìnnìún; mo dùbúlẹ̀ ni abẹ́ àwọn ẹ̀dá búburú, àwọn ènìyàn tí eyín wọn dàbí ọ̀kọ̀ àti ọfà ẹni tí ahọ́n rẹ̀ jẹ́ idà mímú.
[Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
5 Kí a yìn ọ́ Ọlọ́run, ju ọ̀run lọ, kí ògo rẹ kò ju ti gbogbo ayé lọ.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
6 Wọ́n ti ta àwọ̀n sílẹ̀ fún ẹsẹ̀ mi: a tẹ orí ọkàn mi ba nínú ìtìjú, wọ́n gbẹ́ kòtò sí ọ̀nà mi: ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ti jì síbẹ̀ fún ara wọn.
[It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
7 Ọkàn mi ti múra Ọlọ́run; ọkàn mi ti múra, èmi ó kọrin, èmi ó si máa kọrin ìyìn.
God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
8 Jí, ìwọ ọkàn mi! Jí, ohun orin èlò àti dùùrù! Èmi tìkára mi, yóò sì jí ní kùtùkùtù.
I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
9 Èmi ó máa yìn ọ́, Olúwa, láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè; èmi ó máa kọrin sí ọ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn.
Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
10 Nítorí títóbi ní ìfẹ́ rẹ, tí ó dé ọ̀run; òtítọ́ rẹ tàn dé àwọsánmọ̀.
because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
11 Gbígbéga ni ọ́, Ọlọ́run, ju àwọn ọ̀run lọ; kí ògo rẹ kí ó ju gbogbo ayé lọ.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
