Psalms 57
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be gracious unto me, O God, be gracious unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take refuge, until the calamities be overpast.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Mègagblẽ nu o” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Ekpa ha sia esi wòsi le Saul nu yi ɖabe ɖe agado aɖe me. Kpɔ nye nublanui, O! Mawu, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena wò mee nye luʋɔ kpɔ sitsoƒe le. Wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te mabe ɖo va se ɖe esime gbegblẽ la nu nava yi.
2 I will call unto God, the Most High; unto God that performeth [all] for me.
Mawu, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ lae medo ɣli na, Mawu si wɔa ɖoɖo si wòwɔ ɖe ŋunye la dzi.
3 He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.
Edɔ xɔnametɔ tso dziƒo, eye wòxɔ nam heka mo na ame siwo le yonyeme tim kutɔkutɔe. (Sela) Mawu dɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple eƒe nuteƒewɔwɔ ɖa.
4 My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down [among] them that breathe out flames, the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Mele dzatawo dome, memlɔ lã lénuwo dome, amegbetɔ siwo ƒe aɖuwo nye akplɔwo kple aŋutrɔwo, eye woƒe aɖewo nye yi ɖaɖɛwo.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
Medo wò ɖe dzi, O Mawu, gbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naklẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof. (Selah)
Woɖo ɖɔ ɖi na nye afɔ, ena mete ɖe anyi kple nuxaxa. Woɖe ʋe ɖe mɔ dzi nam, gake woawo ŋutɔ ge dze eme. (Sela)
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms.
Nye dzi li ke sesĩe, O Mawu, nye dzi li ke sesĩe, eya ta madzi ha aƒo saŋku.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
Nyɔ, nye luʋɔ! Nyɔ, kasaŋku kple gasaŋku! Mana fɔŋli nanyɔ!
9 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Lord; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
O! Aƒetɔ, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha na wò le dukɔwo dome,
10 For thy loving-kindness is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ keke ta, yi ɖatɔ dziƒo ke, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ dziŋgɔli.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God; let thy glory be above all the earth!
Medo wò ɖe dzi, O Mawu, gbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naklẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
