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! thou art my God! earnestly do I seek thee! My soul thirsteth, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry, thirsty land. where is no water!

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

Thus I look toward thee in thy sanctuary, To behold thy power and thy glory!

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

For thy loving-kindness is better than life; Therefore my lips shall praise thee!

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

Thus will I bless thee, while I live; In thy name will I lift up my hands!

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

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And with joyful lips my mouth shall praise thee,

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

When I think of thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.

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

For thou art my help, And in the shadow of thy wings I rejoice.

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

My soul cleaveth to thee; Thy right hand holdeth me up.

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

While they who seek to destroy my life Shall themselves go down into the depths of the earth.

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

They shall be given up to the sword, And be a portion for jackals.

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 shall rejoice in God; All that swear by him shall be honored; But the mouth of liars shall be stopped.
