Psalms 61

1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Se nye ɣlidodo, O Mawu, eye nàlé to ɖe nye gbedodoɖa ŋu.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

Meyɔ wò tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenu, meyɔ wò, esi nu te nye dzi ŋu belibelibeli; azɔ kplɔm yi ɖe agakpe si kɔ wum la dzi,

3 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

elabena wòe nye nye sitsoƒe kple mɔ sesẽ, le futɔ la ta.

4 I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah)

Medi vevie be manɔ wò agbadɔ me tegbee, eye mabe ɖe wò aʋala ƒe fafaƒe. (Sela)

5 For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

O! Mawu, èse nye adzɔgbeɖeɖewo, eye nètsɔ ame siwo vɔ̃a wò ŋkɔ la ƒe domenyinu nam.

6 Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

Dzi fia la ƒe agbemeŋkekewo ɖe edzi nɛ, eƒe ƒewo nasɔ gbɔ be wòakpɔ dzidzime geɖewo.

7 May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

Neɖu fia le Mawu ŋkume tegbee, eye na wò lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nakpɔ eta.

8 So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Ekema madzi kafukafuha na wò ŋkɔ tegbee, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo gbe sia gbe.
