Psalms 7
1 Ṣiggaioni ti Dafidi, èyí tí ó kọ sí Olúwa nípa Kuṣi, ará Benjamini. Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, ààbò mi wà nínú rẹ; gba mí là kí o sì tú mi sílẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ àwọn tó ń lé mi,
“A psalm of David, which he sang to Jehovah, on account of the reproaches of Cush the Benjamite.” O Jehovah, my God! to thee do I look for help; Save me from them that persecute me, and deliver me!
2 kí wọn ó má ba à fa ọkàn mi ya gẹ́gẹ́ bí kìnnìún, wọ́n á ya á pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ láìsí ẹni tí yóò gbà mí.
Lest mine enemy tear me like a lion; Lest he rend me in pieces, while there is none to help.
3 Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, tí èmi bá ṣe èyí tí ẹ̀bi sì wà ní ọwọ́ mi.
O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this, —If there be iniquity upon my hands,
4 bí èmi bá ṣe ibi sí ẹni tí ń wá àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú mi, tí mo ja ọ̀tá mi lólè láìnídìí,
If I have rendered evil to my friend, Or have despoiled him that without cause is mine enemy, —
5 nígbà náà, jẹ́ kí ọ̀tá mi lé mi kí wọn sì mú mi; jẹ́ kí òun kí ó tẹ ọkàn mi mọ́lẹ̀ kí wọn sì mú mi sùn nínú eruku. (Sela)
Let my adversary pursue and take me; Let him trample me to the ground, And lay me prostrate in the dust! (Pause)
6 Dìde, Olúwa, nínú ìbínú rẹ; dìde lòdì sí ìrunú àwọn ọ̀tá mi. Jí, Ọlọ́run mi; kéde òdodo.
Arise, O LORD! in thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment!
7 Kí ìpéjọ àwọn ènìyàn yíká. Jọba lórí wọn láti òkè wá.
Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height!
8 Jẹ́ kí Olúwa ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ènìyàn. Ṣe ìdájọ́ mi, Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwà òtítọ́, ẹni gíga jùlọ.
The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity!
9 Ọlọ́run Olódodo, Ẹni tí ó ń wo inú àti ọkàn, tí ó ń mú òpin sí ìwà ipá ẹni búburú tí ó sì ń pa àwọn olódodo mọ́.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins.
10 Ààbò mi ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ń ṣe ìgbàlà òtítọ́ ní àyà.
My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Ọlọ́run ni onídàájọ́ òtítọ́, Ọlọ́run tí ń sọ ìrunú rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day.
12 Bí kò bá yípadà, Òun yóò pọ́n idà rẹ̀ mú; ó ti fa ọrun rẹ̀ le ná, ó ti múra rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready;
13 Ó ti pèsè ohun ìjà ikú sílẹ̀; ó ti pèsè ọfà iná sílẹ̀.
He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows.
14 Ẹni tí ó lóyún ohun búburú, tí ó sì lóyún wàhálà, ó bí èké jáde.
Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment!
15 Ẹni tí ó gbẹ́ ọ̀fìn, tí ó kó o jáde jì sí kòtò tí ó gbẹ́ sílẹ̀.
He made a pit and digged it. And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Wàhálà tí ó fà padà sórí rẹ̀; ìwà ipá rẹ̀ padà sórí ara rẹ̀.
His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull.
17 Èmi ó fi ọpẹ́ fún Olúwa nítorí òdodo rẹ̀, èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
