Psalms 33

1 Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.

Midzi ha kple dzidzɔ na Yehowa, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; edze mi ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la be woakafui.

2 Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.

Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.

3 Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.

Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.

4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.

Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.

5 His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.

7 He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.

8 Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.

9 For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

Elabena eƒo nu, eye wòva dzɔ; eɖe gbe, eye wòli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ.

10 The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.

Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.

11 The Lord's purpose is eternal, the designs of his heart go on through all the generations of man.

Ke Yehowa ya ƒe ɖoɖowo nɔa anyi maʋamaʋãe ɖikaa, eye eƒe dzimesusuwo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.

12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.

Woayra dukɔ si ƒe Mawue nye Yehowa, ame siwo wòtia be woanyi yeƒe dome.

13 The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;

Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.

14 From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,

15 He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.

eya ame si wɔ ame sia ame ƒe dzi, eye wòléa ŋku ɖe nu sia nu si wowɔna la ŋu.

16 A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

Aʋakɔ gbogbo si le fia aɖe si la mate ŋu aɖee o, eye ŋusẽ triakɔ hã meɖea kalẽtɔ o.

17 A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.

Ne eɖo ɖeɖe dzi la, sɔ maɖe ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe edzi o, togbɔ be ŋusẽ triakɔ le esi hã la, mate ŋu aɖee o.

18 See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

Ke Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la ŋu, ame siwo tsɔa woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ dana ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la dzi,

19 To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.

be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.

20 Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.

Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.

21 For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.

Míaƒe dziwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm le eya amea me, elabena mieka ɖe eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la dzi.

22 Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.

O! Yehowa, na wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la, nanɔ mía dzi abe ale si míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò ene.
