Psalms 119
1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Law of the LORD.
Woayra ame siwo kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele woƒe mɔwo ŋu o, ame siwo zɔna ɖe Yehowa ƒe se la nu.
2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies and seek Him with all their heart.
Woayra ame siwo léa eƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye wodinɛ kple woƒe dzi blibo.
3 They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.
Womewɔa vɔ̃ aɖeke o; ke boŋ wozɔna le eƒe mɔwo dzi.
4 You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.
Èwɔ se siwo dzi wòle be woawɔ ɖo blibo la da ɖi.
5 Oh, that my ways were committed to keeping Your statutes!
O! Ɖe nye mɔwo li ke sesĩe le wò sewo dzi wɔwɔ me la, anyo ŋutɔ.
6 Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.
Ekema ŋu makpem ne mebu wò sewo katã ŋu o.
7 I will praise You with an upright heart when I learn Your righteous judgments.
Makafu wò le dzi dzɔdzɔe me, ne mele wò se dzɔdzɔeawo srɔ̃m.
8 I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
Mawɔ ɖe wò sededewo dzi, eya ta mègagblẽm ɖi keŋkeŋ o.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to Your word.
Aleke ɖekakpui awɔ, be eƒe mɔ dzi nanɔ dzadzɛe ɣe sia ɣi? To agbenɔnɔ ɖe wò nya la nu mee.
10 With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.
Madi wò kple nye dzi blibo, eya ta mègana matra tso wò sewo gbɔ o.
11 I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.
Meɣla wò nya ɖe nye dzi me, be nyemawɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋuwò o.
12 Blessed are You, O LORD; teach me Your statutes.
O! Yehowa, woakafu wò ɖaa; fia wò sededewom.
13 With my lips I proclaim all the judgments of Your mouth.
Matsɔ nye nu axlẽ se siwo katã do tso wò nu me la afia.
14 I rejoice in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches.

22 Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.
Ɖe ŋukpe kple vlododo ɖa le ŋunye, elabena melé wò sewo me ɖe asi.
23 Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

Medo nye asiwo ɖe dzi na wò sedede siwo melɔ̃ la, eye mede ŋugble le wò sededewo ŋu.
49 Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope.
Ɖo ŋku nya si nègblɔ na wò dɔla la dzi, elabena ètsɔ mɔkpɔkpɔ de menye.

52 I remember Your judgments of old, O LORD, and in them I find comfort.
O! Yehowa, meɖo ŋku wò blemasewo dzi, elabena mekpɔa akɔfafa le wo me.
53 Rage has taken hold of me because of the wicked who reject Your law.
Ŋɔdzi lém le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ta, ame siwo gbe nu le wò se la gbɔ.
54 Your statutes are songs to me in the house of my pilgrimage.
Afi sia afi si medze la, wò sewo nyea nye ha ƒe tanya.

Maɖe abla, nyemahe ɖe megbe o, be mawɔ ɖe wò sededewo dzi.
61 Though the ropes of the wicked bind me, I do not forget Your law.
Togbɔ be ame vɔ̃ɖiwo blam kple ka hã la, nyemaŋlɔ wò sewo be o.

Hafi woava aka hiãm la, metra mɔ, ke azɔ la, meɖo to wò nya la.
68 You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.

70 Their hearts are hard and callous, but I delight in Your law.
Woƒe dzi ku atri, eye megasea naneke o, ke nye la, mekpɔa dzidzɔ ɖe wò se la ŋu.
71 It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
Enyo be woka hiãm, ale be mate ŋu asrɔ̃ wò sededewo.
72 The law from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
Se siwo do tso wò nu me la xɔ asi nam wu sika kple klosalo akpewo.
73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn Your commandments.

75 I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
O! Yehowa, menya be wò sewo le dzɔdzɔe, eye le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye la me, nèka hiãm.
76 May Your loving devotion comfort me, I pray, according to Your promise to Your servant.
Na be wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la nanye nye akɔfafa, le ŋugbe si nèdo na wò dɔla la ta.
77 May Your compassion come to me, that I may live, for Your law is my delight.
Wò dɔmenyo neɖiɖi ɖe dzinye, be manɔ agbe, elabena wò se lae nye nye dzidzɔ.
78 May the arrogant be put to shame for subverting me with a lie; I will meditate on Your precepts.

Na ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la natrɔ ɖe ŋunye, ame siwo se wò nuɖoanyiwo gɔme.
80 May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.
Na kpɔtsɔtsɔ manɔ nye dzi ŋuti ɖe wò sededewo ŋu o, ale be ŋu makpem o.
81 My soul faints for Your salvation; I wait for Your word.
Nu ti kɔ na nye luʋɔ le wò ɖeɖedidi vevie ta, gake metsɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe wò nya la dzi.
82 My eyes fail, looking for Your promise; I ask, “When will You comfort me?”
Nu te nye ŋkuwo ŋu, le mɔkpɔkpɔ na wò ŋugbedodo la ta. Megblɔ be, “Ɣe ka ɣi nàfa akɔ nam?”
83 Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.
Togbɔ be mele abe waingolo le dzudzɔ me ene hã la, nyemeŋlɔ wò sededewo be o.
84 How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?
Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi wò dɔla alala? Ɣe ka ɣi nàhe to na yonyemetilawo?
85 The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.
Dadalawo ɖe ʋe ɖi nam, nu si tsi tsitre ɖe wò se la ŋu.
86 All Your commandments are faithful; I am persecuted without cause—help me!
Wò sededewo katã nye nu si dzi woaka ɖo; kpe ɖe ŋunye, elabena amewo ti yonyeme susumanɔmetɔe.

O! Yehowa, wò nya la nye nya mavɔ, eli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ ɖe dziƒo.
90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures.
Wò nuteƒewɔwɔ li le dzidzimewo katã; wòe ɖo anyigba gɔme anyi, eye wòli ke ɖaa.
91 Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You.
Wò sewo gali va se ɖe egbe, elabena wòe nuwo katã subɔna.
92 If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.
Nenye ɖe wò se la menye nye dzidzɔ o la, anye ne metsrɔ̃ le nye hiãkame me.
93 I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me.

Wò nyawo vivia nunye ŋutɔ, eye wovivina le nye nu me wu anyitsi nyuitɔ!
104 I gain understanding from Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way.

135 Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.
Na wò mo naklẽ na wò dɔla, eye nàfia wò sededewom.
136 My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.
Aɖatsi le sisim le nye ŋkuwo me abe tɔʋu ene, elabena womewɔ wò sewo dzi o.
137 Righteous are You, O LORD, and upright are Your judgments.

138 The testimonies You have laid down are righteous and altogether faithful.
Nu siwo nèɖo anyi hã la le dzɔdzɔe, woaka ɖe wo dzi ɖikeke manɔmee.

141 I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.
Togbɔ be wodo vlom, eye nyemele ɖeke me o hã la, nyemeŋlɔ wò ɖoɖowo be o.
142 Your righteousness is everlasting and Your law is true.
Wò dzɔdzɔenyenye li tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, eye wò se la hã nye nyateƒe.
143 Trouble and distress have found me, but Your commandments are my delight.
Fukpekpe kple xaxa va dzinye, gake wò sededewo doa dzidzɔ nam.
144 Your testimonies are righteous forever. Give me understanding, that I may live.
