Psalms 21
1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, fia la le dzidzɔ kpɔm le wò ŋusẽ me. Ale gbegbe wòle aseye tsom le dziɖuɖu gã siwo nènae la ta!
2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire: and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
Ètsɔ nu si eƒe dzi di la nɛ, eye nèwɔ nu siwo wòtsɔ eƒe nu bia la dzi nɛ. (Sela)
3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
Ètsɔ yayra xɔasi geɖewo do dza nɛ, eye nètsɔ fiakuku si wowɔ kple sika nyuitɔ la ɖɔ nɛ.
4 He asked life of thee: and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
Ebia agbe wò, eye nènae hedidi eƒe ŋkekewo tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
Eƒe ŋkɔxɔxɔ de du to dziɖuɖu siwo nènae la me. Ètsɔ atsyɔ̃ kple bubu kɔ ɖe eya amea dzi.
6 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
Vavã ènae yayra si nu meyina o, eye nèna dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple aseyetsotsoe le ŋkuwò me.
7 For the king hopeth in the Lord: and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
Elabena fia la ɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye le Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o ta la, mavɔ̃ akpɔ gbeɖe o.
8 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
Wò asi alé wò futɔwo katã, eye wò nuɖusi atu wò ketɔwo.
9 Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
Ne wò vavaɣi ɖo la, àwɔ wo abe kpodzo bibi ene. Yehowa ami wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye eƒe dzo afia wo katã.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: and their seed from among the children of men.
Àtsrɔ̃ woƒe dzidzimeviwo ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye àtsrɔ̃ woƒe nunɔamesiwo ɖa le amegbetɔwo dome.
11 For they have intended evils against thee: they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
Togbɔ be wole vɔ̃ ɖom ɖe ŋuwò, eye wowɔ ɖoɖowo be woasẽ ŋuta le ŋuwò hã la, madze edzi na wo o,
12 For thou shalt make them turn their back: in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.
elabena ne èdidi wò aŋutrɔ ɖe wo dzi la, woatrɔ ʋu me ade wò adzo.
13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: we will sing and praise thy power.
Ède ŋgɔ, O! Yehowa, le wò ŋusẽ me; eya ta míadzi ha, eye míakafu wò ŋusẽ.
