Psalms 63

1 Saamu ti Dafidi. Nígbà tí ó wà nínú aginjù Juda. Ọlọ́run, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi, nígbà gbogbo ni mo ń ṣàfẹ́rí rẹ, òǹgbẹ rẹ ń gbẹ ọkàn mi, ara mi fà sí ọ, ní ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ àti ilẹ̀ tí ń ṣàárẹ̀ níbi tí kò sí omi.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

2 Èmi ti rí ọ ní ibi mímọ́, mo rí agbára àti ògo rẹ.

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

3 Nítorí ìfẹ́ rẹ dára ju ayé lọ, ètè mi yóò fògo fún ọ.

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

4 Èmi ó yìn ọ́ níwọ̀n ìgbà tí mo wà láààyè, èmi ó gbé ọwọ́ sókè, èmi ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ.

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

5 A ó tẹ́ ọkàn mi lọ́rùn bí ọlọ́ràá oúnjẹ; pẹ̀lú ètè ìyìn, ẹnu mi yóò yìn ọ́.

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

6 Nígbà tí mo rántí rẹ lórí ibùsùn mi; èmi ń ronú rẹ títí ìṣọ́ òru.

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

7 Nítorí ìwọ ni ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi, mo kọrin níbi òjìji ìyẹ́ apá rẹ.

For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8 Ọkàn mí fà sí ọ: ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ gbé mi ró.

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 Àwọn tí ó ń wá ọkàn mí ni a ó parun; wọn ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ayé.

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

10 Wọn ó ti ọwọ́ idà ṣubú wọn ó sì di jíjẹ fún kọ̀lọ̀kọ̀lọ̀.

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

11 Ṣùgbọ́n ọba yóò yọ̀ nínú Ọlọ́run ẹni tí ó fi orúkọ Ọlọ́run búra yóò ṣògo ṣùgbọ́n ẹnu àwọn òpùrọ́ la ó pamọ́.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
