Psalms 7
1 Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer me,
David ƒe konyifaha si wòdzi na Yehowa le Benyamintɔ, Kus ƒe nyawo ta. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, wòe mesi tso, xɔ nam, eye nàɖem tso ame siwo katã le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
2 Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.
Ne menye nenema o la, woavuvum abe ale si dzata vuvua nui ene, eye woavuvum ʋayaʋaya, xɔnametɔ aɖeke mava ɖem o.
3 O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,
O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, ne mewɔ nu sia, eye vɔ̃ lé ɖe nye asiwo ŋu,
4 If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)
ne mewɔ nu vɔɖi ɖe ame si li kplim le ŋutifafa me ŋuti alo meda adzo nye futɔ naneke mawɔmawɔtɔe la,
5 Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
ekema na nye futɔ nati yonyeme, eye eƒe asi nasu dzinye; na be wòafanyam ɖe anyigba, eye wòana matsi ke me adɔ. (Sela)
6 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.
O! Yehowa, tso, le wò dziku me; tso ɖe nye futɔwo ƒe nyanyra ŋuti. Nyɔ, nye Mawu, ne nàɖo ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ anyi.
7 So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.
Na be amehawo naƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò. Ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi tso dziƒo;
8 The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.
na be Yehowa nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔ la. O! Yehowa, tso afia nam le nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, O! Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, tso afia nam le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.
9 Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
O! Mawu dzɔdzɔetɔ, ame si dzroa susuwo kple dziwo me, na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ nu natso, eye nàna dedinɔnɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo.
10 My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.
Nye akpoxɔnue nye Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ame si ɖea ame si dza le eƒe dzi me.
11 God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.
Mawue nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe, Mawu si ɖea eƒe dɔmedzoe fiana gbe sia gbe.
12 Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.
Nu metia kɔ nɛ o, anyre eƒe yi, eye wòavu eƒe dati me.
13 Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.
Edzra eƒe lãnuwo ɖo da ɖi, eye eƒe aŋutrɔ bibiawo la etrɔ asi le wo ŋu wosɔ gbe.
14 Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.
Ame si fɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi ƒe fu, eye dzɔgbevɔ̃e zu fu wòfɔ la, adzi beble ƒe vi.
15 Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.
Ame si ɖe ʋe, heku eme wògoglo nyuie la age dze ʋe si eya ŋutɔ ɖe la me.
16 His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.
Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si wòhe vɛ la atrɔ abali ɖe eya ŋutɔ ŋuti, eye eƒe ŋutasesẽ atrɔ ava eya ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.
17 I wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.
Mada akpe na Yehowa le eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, eye madzi kafukafuha na Yehowa Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ.
