Psalms 86
1 Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
David ƒe gbedodoɖa. Ɖo tom, O Yehowa, eye nàtɔ nam, elabena meda ahe, eye hiã tum.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am devout. O thou my God, save thy servant who trusts in thee.
Kpɔ nye agbe ta, elabena metsɔ ɖokuinye na wò. Wòe nye nye Mawu, eya ta ɖe wò dɔla si ɖo dzi ɖe ŋuwò.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day long.
O! Aƒetɔ, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena mele yɔwòm ŋkeke blibo la.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
O! Aƒetɔ, tsɔ dzidzɔ vɛ na wò dɔla, elabena wòe medo nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
5 For thou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in loving kindness to all those who call upon thee.
O! Aƒetɔ, ènyo, eye nètsɔna kena, lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò na ame siwo katã yɔa wò.
6 Give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.
O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàlé to ɖe nye nublanuiɣli ŋu.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou will answer me.
Le nye xaxagbe, mayɔ wò elabena àtɔ nam.
8 There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor like thy works.
O! Aƒetɔ aɖeke megale mawuawo dome abe wò ene o; nuwɔna aɖeke mesɔ kple tɔwò o.
9 All nations whom thou have made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name.
O! Aƒetɔ, dukɔ siwo katã nèwɔ la ava asubɔ le ŋkuwò me, eye woatsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ana wò ŋkɔ.
10 For thou are great, and do wondrous things. Thou alone are God.
Elabena èlolo, eye nèwɔ nu dzɔatsuwo; wò koe nye Mawu.
11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah, I will walk in thy truth. Unite my heart to fear thy name.
O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔm, eye mazɔ le wò nyateƒe la me; tsɔ dzi si to mɔ ɖeka la nam, ale be mavɔ̃ wò ŋkɔ.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Makafu wò, O Aƒetɔ, nye Mawu, kple nye dzi blibo. Mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi tegbee,
13 For great is thy loving kindness toward me, and thou have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ nam lolo ŋutɔ, eye nèɖem tso keke tsiẽƒe ʋĩi ke. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, and a company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
O! Mawu, dadalawo tso ɖe ŋunye, ŋutasẽlawo ƒe ha ti nye agbe yome, eye wonye ŋutsu siwo mebu wò ɖe naneke me o.
15 But thou, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
O! Aƒetɔ, ke wò la, Mawu si kpɔa nublanui, eye wòvea ame nu lae nènye, mèdoa dɔmedzoe kabakaba o, lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò, eye nèwɔa nuteƒe.
16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me. Give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
Trɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam; na wò ŋusẽ wò dɔla, eye nàɖe viwò ŋutsu nuteƒewɔla.
17 Show me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because thou, Jehovah, have helped me, and comforted me.
Ɖe wò nyuiwɔwɔ ƒe dzesi fiam, be nye futɔwo nakpɔe, eye ŋu nakpe wo, elabena o Yehowa, wòe kpe ɖe ŋunye, eye nèfa akɔ nam.
