Psalms 86
1 A Prayer. Of David. Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.
David ƒe gbedodoɖa. Ɖo tom, O Yehowa, eye nàtɔ nam, elabena meda ahe, eye hiã tum.
2 Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you.
Kpɔ nye agbe ta, elabena metsɔ ɖokuinye na wò. Wòe nye nye Mawu, eya ta ɖe wò dɔla si ɖo dzi ɖe ŋuwò.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day.
O! Aƒetɔ, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena mele yɔwòm ŋkeke blibo la.
4 Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.
O! Aƒetɔ, tsɔ dzidzɔ vɛ na wò dɔla, elabena wòe medo nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
5 You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you.
O! Aƒetɔ, ènyo, eye nètsɔna kena, lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò na ame siwo katã yɔa wò.
6 O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests.
O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàlé to ɖe nye nublanuiɣli ŋu.
7 In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.
Le nye xaxagbe, mayɔ wò elabena àtɔ nam.
8 There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works.
O! Aƒetɔ aɖeke megale mawuawo dome abe wò ene o; nuwɔna aɖeke mesɔ kple tɔwò o.
9 Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name.
O! Aƒetɔ, dukɔ siwo katã nèwɔ la ava asubɔ le ŋkuwò me, eye woatsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ana wò ŋkɔ.
10 For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.
Elabena èlolo, eye nèwɔ nu dzɔatsuwo; wò koe nye Mawu.
11 Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your 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 give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.
Makafu wò, O Aƒetɔ, nye Mawu, kple nye dzi blibo. Mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi tegbee,
13 For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ nam lolo ŋutɔ, eye nèɖem tso keke tsiẽƒe ʋĩi ke. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you 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 you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.
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 be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant.
Trɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam; na wò ŋusẽ wò dɔla, eye nàɖe viwò ŋutsu nuteƒewɔla.
17 Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.
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.
