Psalms 70

1 Fún adarí orin. Ti Dafidi. Ẹ̀bẹ̀. Yára, Ọlọ́run, láti gbà mí là, Olúwa, wá kánkán láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.

For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

2 Kí àwọn tí ń wá ọkàn mi kí a dójútì wọ́n, kí wọn sì dààmú; kí àwọn tó ń wá ìparun mi yí ẹ̀yìn padà nínú ìtìjú.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.

3 Kí a pa wọ́n ní ẹ̀yìn dà fún èrè ìtìjú àwọn tí ń wí pé, “Háà! Háà!”

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say, Aha, Aha.

4 Ṣùgbọ́n kí àwọn tí ó ń wá ọ ó máa yọ̀ kí inú wọn kí ó sì máa dùn nípa rẹ, kí àwọn tí ó ń fẹ́ ìgbàlà rẹ máa wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a gbé Ọlọ́run ga!”

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 Ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ́ òtòṣì àti aláìní; wa kánkán sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, Ọlọ́run. Ìwọ ni olùrànlọ́wọ́ àti olùdáǹdè mi; Olúwa, má ṣe dúró pẹ́.

But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
