Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to 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 holy; save thy servant, O God, who hopes 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 Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.
O! Aƒetɔ, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena mele yɔwòm ŋkeke blibo la.
4 Rejoice the sold of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
O! Aƒetɔ, tsɔ dzidzɔ vɛ na wò dɔla, elabena wòe medo nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
5 For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
O! Aƒetɔ, ènyo, eye nètsɔna kena, lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò na ame siwo katã yɔa wò.
6 Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.
O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàlé to ɖe nye nublanuiɣli ŋu.
7 In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.
Le nye xaxagbe, mayɔ wò elabena àtɔ nam.
8 There is none like to thee, O Lord, among the god; and there are no [works] like to thy works.
O! Aƒetɔ aɖeke megale mawuawo dome abe wò ene o; nuwɔna aɖeke mesɔ kple tɔwò o.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come, and shall worship before thee, O Lord; and 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 art great, and doest wonders: thou art the only [and] the great God.
Elabena èlolo, eye nèwɔ nu dzɔatsuwo; wò koe nye Mawu.
11 Guide me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may 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 give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.
Makafu wò, O Aƒetɔ, nye Mawu, kple nye dzi blibo. Mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi tegbee,
13 For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ nam lolo ŋutɔ, eye nèɖem tso keke tsiẽƒe ʋĩi ke. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of violent [men] have sought my life; 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 God, art compassionate and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and true.
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 Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Trɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam; na wò ŋusẽ wò dɔla, eye nàɖe viwò ŋutsu nuteƒewɔla.
17 Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see [it] and be ashamed; because thou, O Lord, hast 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.
