Psalms 63

1 O Elohim, thou art my El; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

David ƒe ha. Ekpae esi wòle Yuda gbegbe. O! Mawu, wòe nye nye Mawu, mele diwòm vevie; tsikɔ le nye luʋɔ wum ɖe ŋuwò, nye ameti blibo la mele diwòm, le kuɖiɖinyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla, eye tsi aɖeke meli o la dzi.

2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Mekpɔ wò le kɔkɔeƒe la, eye mekpɔ wò ŋusẽ kple wò ŋutikɔkɔe.

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Esi wò lɔlɔ̃ nyo wu agbe ta la, nye nuyiwo ado wò ɖe dzi.

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Makafu wò, zi ale si mele agbe, eye mado nye asiwo ɖe dzi le wò ŋkɔ me.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

Nye luʋɔ aɖi ƒo abe nuɖuɖu nyuitɔ kekeakee wòɖu ene; hadzidzi anɔ nu nam, eye nye nu adzi kafukafuhawo na wò.

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Le nye aba dzi, meɖoa ŋku dziwò, mebua ŋutiwò le nye ŋunɔɣi le zã me.

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Esi nènye nye xɔnametɔ ta la, madzi ha le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

Nye luʋɔ ku ɖe ŋuwò goŋgoŋgoŋ, eye wò ɖusibɔ lém ɖe te.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Woatsrɔ̃ ame siwo le nye agbe yome tim, woayi ɖe keke anyigba la ƒe tume ke.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

Woatsɔ wo ade asi na yi, eye woazu nuɖuɖu na amegaxiwo.

11 But the king shall rejoice in Elohim; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Ke fia la akpɔ dzidzɔ le Mawu me; ame siwo katã kaa atam le Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ me la akafui, ke woamia nu na alakpatɔwo.
