A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
2 Dáàbò bò ayé mi, nítorí a ti yà mí sọ́tọ̀ fún ọ: ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run mi, gbà ìránṣẹ́ rẹ là tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ.
Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.
3 Ṣàánú fún mi, Olúwa, nítorí èmi ń pè ọ́ ní gbogbo ọjọ́.
Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
4 Mú ayọ̀ wà fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, nítorí ìwọ, Olúwa, ni mo gbé ọkàn mí sókè sí.
Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
5 Ìwọ ń dáríjì, ìwọ sì dára, Olúwa, ìwọ sì ṣàánú fún gbogbo àwọn tí ń ké pè ọ́.
For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
6 Gbọ́ àdúrà mi, Olúwa; tẹ́tí sí ẹkún mi fún àánú.
Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
7 Ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú mi èmi yóò pè ọ́, nítorí ìwọ yóò dá mi lóhùn.
When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
8 Nínú àwọn òrìṣà kò sí ẹni tí ó dàbí i rẹ, Olúwa: kò sí àwọn iṣẹ́ tí a lè fiwé tìrẹ.
There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
9 Gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ dá yóò wá láti wá jọ́sìn níwájú rẹ, Olúwa; wọn ó mú ògo wà fún orúkọ rẹ̀.
You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
10 Nítorí pé ìwọ tóbi, ìwọ sì ń ṣe ohun ìyanu; ìwọ nìkan ni Ọlọ́run.
For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
11 Kọ́ mi ní ọ̀nà rẹ, Olúwa, èmi ó sì máa rìn nínú òtítọ́ rẹ; fún mi ní ọkàn tí kì í yapa, kí èmi kí ó ba lè bẹ̀rù orúkọ rẹ.
Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.
12 Èmi ó yìn ọ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn mi; èmi ó fògo fún orúkọ rẹ títí láé.
Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
For your trustworthy love for me is so great; you have saved me from death. (Sheol h7585)
14 Àwọn onígbèéraga ń dojúkọ mí, Ọlọ́run; àti ìjọ àwọn alágbára ń wá ọkàn mi kiri, wọn kò sì fi ọ́ pè.
God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ, Olúwa, jẹ́ aláàánú àti Ọlọ́run olójúrere, Ó lọ́ra láti bínú, Ó sì pọ̀ ní ìfẹ́ àti òtítọ́.
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
16 Yípadà sí mi kí o sì ṣàánú fún mi; fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ní agbára kí o sì gba ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ là.
Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
17 Fi àmì hàn mí fún rere, kí àwọn tí ó kórìíra mi lè ri, kí ojú lè tì wọ́n, nítorí ìwọ Olúwa ni ó ti tù mí nínú.
Show me a sign that you approve of me! Those who hate me will see it, and they will be ashamed because you, Lord, have helped me.
