Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, lé to ɖe nye nublanuiɣli ŋu, eye nàxɔ nam le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye ta.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Mègabu fɔ wò dɔla o, elabena amegbetɔ aɖeke mele dzɔdzɔe le ŋkuwò me o.
3 For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Futɔ la ti yonyeme, egbãm ɖe anyigba, eye wòna menɔ viviti me abe ame siwo ku xoxo va yi la ene.
4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Nu te nye gbɔgbɔ ŋu le menye, eye nye dzi wɔ yaa le menye.
5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Meɖo ŋku blemaŋkekeawo dzi, hede ŋugble le wò dɔwɔwɔwo katã ŋuti, eye mebu nu siwo wò asiwo wɔ la ŋuti.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
Mekeke nye abɔwo me na wò, eye nye luʋɔ ƒe ve me ƒu ɖe ŋuwò abe kuɖiɖinyigba ene. (Sela)
7 Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
O! Yehowa, tɔ nam kaba, elabena nu te nye gbɔgbɔ ŋu. Mègaɣla wò mo ɖem o, ne menye nenema o la, manɔ abe ame siwo yi aʋlime ene.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Na ŋdi natsɔ wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ƒe nya vɛ nam, elabena dziwòe meka ɖo. Fia mɔ si mato lam, elabena wòe medo nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
O! Yehowa, ɖem tso nye futɔwo ƒe asi me, elabena mewòe mebe ɖo.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
Fiam ale si mawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu, elabena wòe nye nye Mawu; na wò Gbɔgbɔ nyui la nakplɔm to anyigba sɔsɔe dzi.
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
O! Yehowa, le wò ŋkɔ la ta, kpɔ nye agbe ta, le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, ɖem le xaxa me.
12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
Le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta, mia nu na nye futɔwo; tsrɔ̃ nye ketɔwo katã, elabena wò dɔlae menye.
