Psalms 121

1 A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi ɖe togbɛawo ŋu, afi ka nye xɔname atso ava?

2 My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

Nye xɔname atso Yehowa, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la gbɔ.

3 Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

Mana wò afɔ naɖiɖi o, eya ame si dzɔa ŋuwò la madɔ akɔlɔ̃e o.

4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

Vavã, eya ame si dzɔa Israel ŋu la, madɔ akɔlɔ̃e loo, alo adɔ alɔ̃ o.

5 The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

Yehowae nye tawòkpɔla, Yehowae nye wò vɔvɔli le wò nuɖusime

6 The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

eya ta ɣe maɖu wò le ŋkeke me loo, alo ɣleti le zã me o.

7 May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

Yehowa aɖe wò le vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakpɔ wò agbe ta.

8 The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.

Yehowa adzɔ wò vava kple wò dzodzo ŋuti, fifia yi ɖase mavɔmavɔ me.
