Psalms 61

1 Fún adarí orin. Ohun èlò orin olókùn. Ti Dafidi. Gbọ́ ẹkún mi, Ọlọ́run; tẹ́tí sí àdúrà mi.

[For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.] Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

2 Láti òpin ayé wá ni èmi yóò pè ọ́, mo pè nígbà àyà mi ń ṣàárẹ̀; mú mi lọ sí ibi àpáta tí ó ga jù mí lọ.

From the most remote place of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Nítorí ìwọ ti jẹ́ ibi ààbò mi, ilé ìṣọ́ agbára àwọn ọ̀tá.

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Mo ń lépa láti máa gbé nínú àgọ́ rẹ títí láé kí n sì rí ààbò níbi ìyẹ́ apá rẹ.

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

5 Nítorí ìwọ ti gbọ́ àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ mi, Ọlọ́run; Ìwọ ti fún mi ní ogún àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù orúkọ rẹ.

For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀mí ọba kí ó gùn, ọdún rẹ̀ fún ìrandíran.

You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.

7 Kí ó máa jẹ ọba níwájú Ọlọ́run títí láé; pèsè àánú àti òtítọ́ rẹ tí yóò máa ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ.

He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

8 Nígbà náà ni èmi ó máa kọrin ìyìn sí orúkọ rẹ títí láé kí n san ẹ̀jẹ́ mi ní ojoojúmọ́.

So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows day after day.
