Psalms 71
1 Nínú rẹ, Olúwa, ni mo ní ààbò; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ojú kí ó tì mí.
In you, Jehovah, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
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 rescue me. Turn your ear to 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 to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command 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.
Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from 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, Jehovah; my confidence 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.
I have relied on you from the womb. From my mother's womb you are my strength. I will always praise you.
7 Mo di àmì fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ni ààbò mi tí ó lágbára.
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8 Ìyìn rẹ̀ kún ẹnu mi, ó ń sọ ti ọlá rẹ ní ọjọ́ gbogbo.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.
9 Má ṣe ta mí nù ní ọjọ́ ogbó mi, má ṣe kọ̀ mí sílẹ̀ nígbà tí kò sí okun mọ́.
Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá mi ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi, àwọn tí wọn dúró láti pa mí gbìmọ̀ pọ̀.
For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire 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. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."
12 Má ṣe jìnnà sí mi, Ọlọ́run; wa kánkán, Ọlọ́run mi, láti ràn mí lọ́wọ́.
God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
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 my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n ní tèmi, ìgbà gbogbo ní ìrètí mi; èmi ó yìn ọ́ síwájú àti síwájú sí i.
But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
15 Ẹnu mi yóò sọ nípa ti òdodo rẹ, ti ìgbàlà rẹ, ni gbogbo ọjọ́, lóòtítọ́, èmi kò mọ iye rẹ̀.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
16 Èmi ó wá láti wá kéde agbára, Olúwa Olódùmarè; èmi ó kéde òdodo rẹ̀ nìkan.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
17 Láti ìgbà èwe, Ọlọ́run ni ìwọ ti kọ́ mi títí di òní ni mo ń sọ ti iṣẹ́ ìyanu rẹ.
God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have 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.
Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who 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, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like 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, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Ìwọ yóò fi kún ọwọ́ mi ìwọ yóò tù mí nínú ní ha gbogbo.
Increase my honor, and comfort me again.
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 harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, 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 shout for joy. My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you.
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 will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
