Psalms 64

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Gbóhùn mi, Ọlọ́run, bí mo ti ń sọ àròyé mi pa ọkàn mi mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ẹ̀rù àwọn ọ̀tá.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Pa mí mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìmọ̀ ìkọ̀kọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò nínú ọ̀pọ̀ igbe lọ́wọ́ ìrúkèrúdò oníṣẹ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3 Wọ́n pọ́n ahọ́n wọn bí idà, wọ́n sì fa ọrun wọn le láti tafà wọn, àní ọ̀rọ̀ kíkorò.

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4 Wọ́n tafà ní ìkọ̀kọ̀ sí àwọn aláìlẹ́ṣẹ̀: wọ́n tafà si lójijì, wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù.

to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5 Wọ́n, gba ara wọn níyànjú nínú èrò búburú, wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ lórí dídẹkùn sílẹ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀ wọ́n wí pé, “Ta ni yóò rí wa?”

They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

6 Wọ́n gbìmọ̀ àìṣòdodo, wọ́n wí pé, “A wa ti parí èrò tí a gbà tán!” Lóòótọ́ àyà àti ọkàn ènìyàn kún fún àrékérekè.

They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

7 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run yóò ta wọ́n ní ọfà; wọn ó sì gbọgbẹ́ lójijì.

But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

8 Ahọ́n wọn yóò sì dojú ìjà kọ wọ́n, yóò sì run wọ́n, gbogbo ẹni tí ó bá rí wọn yóò sì mi orí fún wọn.

Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

9 Gbogbo ènìyàn yóò máa bẹ̀rù wọn ó kéde iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn ó dúró lé ohun tí ó ṣe.

All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

10 Jẹ́ kí olódodo kí ó yọ̀ nínú Olúwa yóò sì rí ààbò nínú rẹ̀. Gbogbo ẹni ìdúró ṣinṣin ní ọkàn yóò máa yìn ín.

The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!
