Psalms 61

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

To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto 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 end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

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

For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

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

I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

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

For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

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

Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

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

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

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

So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.
