Psalms 71
1 Nínú rẹ, Olúwa, ni mo ní ààbò; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú kí ó tì mí.
In you, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Gbà mí kí o sì tú mi sílẹ̀ nínú òdodo rẹ; dẹ etí rẹ sí mi, kí o sì gbà mí.
Deliver me in your righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline your ear unto me, and save me.
3 Jẹ́ àpáta ààbò mi, níbi tí èmi lè máa lọ, pa àṣẹ láti gbà mí, nítorí ìwọ ni àpáta àti odi agbára mi.
Be you my strong habitation, unto which I may continually resort: you have given commandment to save me; for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Gbà mí, Ọlọ́run mi, lọ́wọ́ àwọn olùṣe búburú, ní ọwọ́ aláìṣòdodo àti ìkà ọkùnrin.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Nítorí ìwọ jẹ́ ìrètí mi, Olúwa Olódùmarè, ìwọ ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé mi láti ìgbà èwe.
For you are my hope, O Lord GOD: you are my trust from my youth.
6 Mo gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ láti ìgbà ìbí mi; Ìwọ mú mi jáde láti inú ìyá mi wá èmi ó máa yìn ọ́ títí láé.
By you have I been held up from the womb: you are he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of you.
7 Mo di àmì fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ni ààbò mi tí ó lágbára.
I am as a wonder unto many; but you are my strong refuge.
8 Ìyìn rẹ̀ kún ẹnu mi, ó ń sọ ti ọlá rẹ ní ọjọ́ gbogbo.
Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honour all the day.
9 Má ṣe ta mí nù ní ọjọ́ ogbó mi, má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ nígbà tí kò sí okun mọ́.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 Nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi, àwọn tí wọn dúró láti pa mí gbìmọ̀ pọ̀.
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Wọ́n wí pé, “Ọlọ́run ti kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀; lépa rẹ̀ kí ẹ sì mu, nítorí kò sí ẹni tí yóò gbà á.”
Saying, God has forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 Má ṣe jìnnà sí mi, Ọlọ́run; wa kánkán, Ọlọ́run mi, láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó dààmú, kí a sì run àwọn tí ń ṣe ọ̀tá ọkàn mi kí a sì fi ẹ̀gàn àti àbùkù bo àwọn tí ń wá ìpalára mi.
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, ìgbà gbogbo ní ìrètí mi; èmi ó yìn ọ́ síwájú àti síwájú sí i.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise you more and more.
15 Ẹnu mi yóò sọ nípa ti òdodo rẹ, ti ìgbàlà rẹ, ni gbogbo ọjọ́, lóòtítọ́, èmi kò mọ iye rẹ̀.
My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 Èmi ó wá láti wá kéde agbára, Olúwa Olódùmarè; èmi ó kéde òdodo rẹ̀ nìkan.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of your only.
17 Láti ìgbà èwe, Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ ti kọ́ mi títí di òní ni mo ń sọ ti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ.
O God, you have taught me from my youth: and until now have I declared your wondrous works.
18 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, nígbà tí èmi di arúgbó tán tí mo sì hewú, má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀, Ọlọ́run mi, títí èmi ó fi ipá rẹ han ìran tí ń bọ̀, àti agbára rẹ fún gbogbo àwọn tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn.
Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.
19 Ọlọ́run, òdodo rẹ dé ọ̀run, ìwọ tí o ti ṣe ohun ńlá. Ta ni ó dàbí rẹ, Ọlọ́run?
Your righteousness also, O God, is very high, who have done great things: O God, who is like unto you!
20 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú ìwọ ti mú mi rí ìdààmú, tí ó pọ̀ tí ó sì korò, ìwọ yóò tún sọ ayé mi jí ìwọ yóò sì tún mú mi sọ sókè láti ọ̀gbun ilẹ̀ wá. Ìwọ yóò sọ ọlá mi di púpọ̀.
You, which have showed me great and sore troubles, shall restore life in me again, and shall bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Ìwọ yóò fi kún ọwọ́ mi ìwọ yóò tù mí nínú ní ha gbogbo.
You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 Èmi yóò fi dùùrù mi yìn fún òtítọ́ rẹ, Ọlọ́run mi; èmi ó kọrin ìyìn sí ọ pẹ̀lú dùùrù ìwọ ẹni mímọ́ Israẹli.
I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God: unto you will I sing with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.
23 Ètè mi yóò kígbe fún ìyìn nígbà tí mo bá kọrin ìyìn sí ọ: èmi, ẹni tí o rà padà.
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto you; and my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 Ahọ́n mi yóò sọ ti òdodo rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́, fún àwọn tí ó fẹ́ pa mí lára, a sì dójúti àwọn tí ń wá ìdààmú mi.
My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
