Psalms 119
1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of Yhwh.
Woayra ame siwo kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele woƒe mɔwo ŋu o, ame siwo zɔna ɖe Yehowa ƒe se la nu.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
Woayra ame siwo léa eƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye wodinɛ kple woƒe dzi blibo.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Womewɔa vɔ̃ aɖeke o; ke boŋ wozɔna le eƒe mɔwo dzi.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
Èwɔ se siwo dzi wòle be woawɔ ɖo blibo la da ɖi.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
O! Ɖe nye mɔwo li ke sesĩe le wò sewo dzi wɔwɔ me la, anyo ŋutɔ.
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Ekema ŋu makpem ne mebu wò sewo katã ŋu o.
7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
Mawɔ ɖe wò sededewo dzi, eya ta mègagblẽm ɖi keŋkeŋ o.
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
Aleke ɖekakpui awɔ, be eƒe mɔ dzi nanɔ dzadzɛe ɣe sia ɣi? To agbenɔnɔ ɖe wò nya la nu mee.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

12 Blessed art thou, O Yhwh: teach me thy statutes.
O! Yehowa, woakafu wò ɖaa; fia wò sededewom.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
Matsɔ nye nu axlẽ se siwo katã do tso wò nu me la afia.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

Ʋu nye ŋkuwo be makpɔ nukunuwo le wò se la me.
19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
Amedzroe menye le anyigba dzi, eya ta mègaɣla wò sededewo ɖem o.
20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
Nu te nye luʋɔ ŋu, le wò sewo yometiti ɣe sia ɣi ta.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
Ɖe ŋukpe kple vlododo ɖa le ŋunye, elabena melé wò sewo me ɖe asi.

Wò sededewo doa dzidzɔ nam, elabena melɔ̃a wo.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
Medo nye asiwo ɖe dzi na wò sedede siwo melɔ̃ la, eye mede ŋugble le wò sededewo ŋu.
49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
Ɖo ŋku nya si nègblɔ na wò dɔla la dzi, elabena ètsɔ mɔkpɔkpɔ de menye.
50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
Wò la, ènyo, eye nu si nèwɔ la hã nyo, eya ta fia wò sededewom.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
Togbɔ be dadalawo tsɔ alakpa sisi ɖe ŋunye keŋ hã la, melé wò sewo me ɖe asi kple nye dzi blibo.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
Enyo be woka hiãm, ale be mate ŋu asrɔ̃ wò sededewo.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

75 I know, O Yhwh, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
O! Yehowa, menya be wò sewo le dzɔdzɔe, eye le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye la me, nèka hiãm.
76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
Na be wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la nanye nye akɔfafa, le ŋugbe si nèdo na wò dɔla la ta.
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
Wò dɔmenyo neɖiɖi ɖe dzinye, be manɔ agbe, elabena wò se lae nye nye dzidzɔ.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
Nu ti kɔ na nye luʋɔ le wò ɖeɖedidi vevie ta, gake metsɔ nye mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe wò nya la dzi.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Nu te nye ŋkuwo ŋu, le mɔkpɔkpɔ na wò ŋugbedodo la ta. Megblɔ be, “Ɣe ka ɣi nàfa akɔ nam?”
83 For I am become like a wineskin in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
Togbɔ be mele abe waingolo le dzudzɔ me ene hã la, nyemeŋlɔ wò sededewo be o.
84 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi wò dɔla alala? Ɣe ka ɣi nàhe to na yonyemetilawo?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
Dadalawo ɖe ʋe ɖi nam, nu si tsi tsitre ɖe wò se la ŋu.
86 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
Wò sededewo katã nye nu si dzi woaka ɖo; kpe ɖe ŋunye, elabena amewo ti yonyeme susumanɔmetɔe.

88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
Le wò lɔlɔ̃ la ta, kpɔ nye agbe ta, eye maɖo to se siwo do tso wò nu me.
89 For ever, O Yhwh, thy word is settled in heaven.
O! Yehowa, wò nya la nye nya mavɔ, eli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ ɖe dziƒo.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
Wò nuteƒewɔwɔ li le dzidzimewo katã; wòe ɖo anyigba gɔme anyi, eye wòli ke ɖaa.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
Wò sewo gali va se ɖe egbe, elabena wòe nuwo katã subɔna.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Nenye ɖe wò se la menye nye dzidzɔ o la, anye ne metsrɔ̃ le nye hiãkame me.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Yhwh, according unto thy word.
Mekpe fu geɖe, eya ta o Yehowa, kpɔ nye agbe ta, le wò nya la nu.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Yhwh, and teach me thy judgments.
O! Yehowa, xɔ kafukafu si nye nu dzra ɖo ɖi la, eye nàfia wò sewom.

Na wò mo naklẽ na wò dɔla, eye nàfia wò sededewom.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
Aɖatsi le sisim le nye ŋkuwo me abe tɔʋu ene, elabena womewɔ wò sewo dzi o.
137 Righteous art thou, O Yhwh, and upright are thy judgments.
O! Yehowa, wò la, dzɔdzɔetɔe nènye, eye wò sewo hã le dzɔdzɔe.
138 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
Nu siwo nèɖo anyi hã la le dzɔdzɔe, woaka ɖe wo dzi ɖikeke manɔmee.
139 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
Dzo si metsɔ ɖe ŋuwò la na megbɔdzɔ, elabena nye futɔwo gbe nu le wò nyawo gbɔ.
140 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

141 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
Togbɔ be wodo vlom, eye nyemele ɖeke me o hã la, nyemeŋlɔ wò ɖoɖowo be o.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Wò dzɔdzɔenyenye li tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me, eye wò se la hã nye nyateƒe.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
Fukpekpe kple xaxa va dzinye, gake wò sededewo doa dzidzɔ nam.
144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
Wò nuɖoanyiwo le dzɔdzɔe ɖaa, eya ta na gɔmesesem, be manɔ agbe.
