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 waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

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

To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

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

Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

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

So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

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

My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

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

When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.

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

Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

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

My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

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

But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.

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

They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food 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 have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
