Psalms 48

1 Orin. Saamu ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Ẹni ńlá ní Olúwa, tí ó sì yẹ láti máa yìn ní ìlú Ọlọ́run wa, lórí òkè mímọ́ rẹ̀.

A song or Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praysed, in the Citie of our God, euen vpon his holy Mountaine.

2 Ó dára nínú ipò ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ayọ̀ gbogbo ayé, òkè Sioni, ní ìhà àríwá ní ìlú ọba ńlá.

Mount Zion, lying Northwarde, is faire in situation: it is the ioy of the whole earth, and the Citie of the great King.

3 Ọlọ́run wà nínú ààbò ààfin rẹ̀; ó fi ara rẹ̀ hàn láti jẹ́ odi alágbára.

In the palaces thereof God is knowen for a refuge.

4 Nígbà tí àwọn ọba kógun jọ pọ̀, wọ́n jùmọ̀ ń kọjá lọ.

For lo, the Kings were gathered, and went together.

5 Wọn rí i, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnu sì yà wọ́n, a yọ wọ́n lẹ́nu, wọ́n yára lọ.

When they sawe it, they marueiled: they were astonied, and suddenly driuen backe.

6 Ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n níbẹ̀, ìrora gẹ́gẹ́ bí obìnrin tí ó wà nínú ìrọbí.

Feare came there vpon them, and sorowe, as vpon a woman in trauaile.

7 Ìwọ bà wọ́n jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkọ̀ orí omi Tarṣiṣi, wọ́n fọ́nká láti ọwọ́ ìjì ìlà-oòrùn.

As with an East winde thou breakest the shippes of Tarshish, so were they destroyed.

8 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ṣe gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa rí, ní inú Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ní ìlú Ọlọ́run wa, Ọlọ́run jẹ́ kí ó wà ní abẹ́ ààbò títí láéláé. (Sela)

As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. (Selah)

9 Láàrín tẹmpili rẹ, Ọlọ́run, àwa ti ń sọ ti ìṣeun ìfẹ́ rẹ.

We waite for thy louing kindnes, O God, in the middes of thy Temple.

10 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí orúkọ rẹ Ọlọ́run, ìyìn rẹ̀ dé òpin ayé, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ kún fún òdodo.

O God, according vnto thy Name, so is thy prayse vnto the worlds end: thy right hand is full of righteousnes.

11 Jẹ́ kí òkè Sioni kí ó yọ̀ kí inú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Juda kí ó dùn nítorí ìdájọ́ rẹ.

Let mount Zion reioyce, and the daughters of Iudah be glad, because of thy iudgements.

12 Rìn Sioni kiri lọ yíká rẹ̀, ka ilé ìṣọ́ rẹ̀.

Compasse about Zion, and goe round about it, and tell the towres thereof.

13 Kíyèsi odi rẹ̀, kíyèsi àwọn ààfin rẹ̀ kí ẹ̀yin lè máa wí fún ìran tí ń bọ̀.

Marke well the wall thereof: beholde her towres, that ye may tell your posteritie.

14 Nítorí Ọlọ́run yìí Ọlọ́run wà ní títí ayé, Òun ni yóò ṣe amọ̀nà wa títí dè òpin ayé.

For this God is our God for euer and euer: he shall be our guide vnto the death.
