< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.
David ƒe ha. Anyigba kple nu siwo katã yɔ edzi, xexea me kple emenɔlawo katã nye Yehowa tɔ.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
Elabena eɖoe anyi ɖe atsiaƒu dzi, eye wòɖo egɔme anyi ɖe tɔsisiwo dzi gli.
3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?
Ame kae alia Yehowa ƒe togbɛ? Ame kae atsi tsitre ɖe eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
Ame si ƒe asi me dza, eye eƒe dzi me le dzadzɛe, ame si metsɔ eƒe luʋɔ na legba o, eye mekaa aʋatso heta nu dzodzro o.
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.
Eya axɔ yayra tso Yehowa gbɔ, eye Mawu, eƒe Ɖela la, atso afia nɛ.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.
O! Yakob ƒe Mawu, aleae dzidzime si dia wò, eye wòdia ŋkuwòme la le. (Sela)
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
O! Mi agbowo, miʋu; mi blemaʋɔtruwo, miʋu, ne Ŋutikɔkɔefia la nage ɖe eme.
8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Ame kae nye Ŋutikɔkɔefia la? Yehowa ŋusẽtɔ kple kalẽtɔ lae, Yehowa si wɔa kalẽ le aʋagbedzi lae.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
O! Mi agbowo, miʋu; mi blemaʋɔtruwo, miʋu, ne Ŋutikɔkɔefia la nage ɖe eme.
10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory.
Ame kae nye Ŋutikɔkɔefia sia? Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ lae nye Ŋutikɔkɔefia la. (Sela)
