Psalms 17 - Listen Online

¹ GBỌ́ otiọ́, Oluwa, fiyesi igbe mi, fi eti si adura mi, ti kò ti ète ẹ̀tan jade.

¹ Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

² Jẹ ki idajọ mi ki o ma ti iwaju rẹ jade wá: jẹ ki oju rẹ ki o ma wò ohun ti o ṣe dẽde.

² Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

³ Iwọ ti dan aiya mi wò; iwọ ti bẹ̀ ẹ wò li oru; iwọ ti wadi mi, iwọ kò ri nkan; emi ti pinnu rẹ̀ pe, ẹnu mi kì yio ṣẹ̀.

³ Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou has tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

⁴ Niti iṣẹ enia, nipa ọ̀rọ ẹnu rẹ̀ emi ti pa ara mi mọ́ kuro ni ipa alaparun.

⁴ Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

⁵ Fi ìrin mi le ilẹ ni ipa rẹ, ki atẹlẹ ẹsẹ mi ki o máṣe yẹ̀.

⁵ Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

⁶ Emi ti nkepè ọ, nitori pe iwọ o gbohùn mi, Ọlọrun: dẹ eti rẹ si mi, ki o si gbọ́ ọ̀rọ mi:

⁶ I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

⁷ Fi iṣeun ifẹ iyanu rẹ hàn, iwọ ti o fi ọwọ ọtún rẹ gbà awọn ti o gbẹkẹle ọ là, lọwọ awọn ti o dide si wọn.

⁷ Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

⁸ Pa mi mọ́ bi ọmọ-oju, pa mi mọ́ labẹ ojiji iyẹ-apá rẹ,

⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁹ Lọwọ awọn enia buburu ti nfõró mi, lọwọ awọn ọta-iyọta mi, ti o yi mi kakiri.

⁹ From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

¹⁰ Nwọn fi ọ̀ra sé aiya wọn, ẹnu wọn ni nwọn fi nsọ̀rọ igberaga.

¹⁰ They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

¹¹ Nwọn ti yi wa ká nisisiyi ninu ìrin wa; nwọn ti gbé oju wọn le ati wọ́ wa silẹ:

¹¹ They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

¹² Bi kiniun ti nṣe iwọra si ohun ọdẹ rẹ̀, ati bi ọmọ kiniun ti o mba ni ibi ìkọkọ.

¹² Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

¹³ Dide, Oluwa, ṣaju rẹ̀, rẹ̀ ẹ silẹ: gbà ọkàn mi lọwọ awọn enia buburu, ti iṣe idà rẹ:

¹³ Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

¹⁴ Lọwọ awọn enia nipa ọwọ rẹ, Oluwa, lọwọ awọn enia aiye, ti nwọn ni ipin wọn li aiye yi, ati ikùn ẹniti iwọ fi ohun iṣura rẹ ìkọkọ kún: awọn ọmọ wọn pọ̀n nwọn a si fi iyokù ini wọn silẹ fun awọn ọmọ-ọwọ́ wọn.

¹⁴ From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

¹⁵ Bi o ṣe ti emi ni emi o ma wò oju rẹ li ododo: àworan rẹ yio tẹ mi lọrun nigbati mo ba jí.

¹⁵ As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
