Psalms 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Mawu, ɖo tom, esi meɖe nye kuxiwo na wò; kpɔ nye agbe ta tso futɔ siwo le ŋɔdzi dom nam la ƒe asi me.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Ɣlam tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nugbeɖoɖo kple ame vlo mawo ƒe howɔwɔ me.

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

Wonyrea woƒe aɖewo abe yi ene, eye wodzidzea woƒe nyawo ɖe ame dzi abe aŋutrɔ siwo nu aɖi le la ene.

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

Wodea xa hedaa aŋutrɔ ame maɖifɔ la, eye wodanɛ zi ɖeka vɔvɔ̃manɔŋutɔe.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

Wodea dzi ƒo na wo nɔewo le woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi ɖoɖowo me, woƒoa nu tso ale si woatre mɔ ɖe vivime la ŋuti gblɔna be, “Ame kae le ekpɔ ge?”

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

Woɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi hegblɔna le eŋuti be, “Míewɔ ɖoɖo deŋgɔ la vɔ!” Vavãe, ame ƒe susu kple dzi me nye ayenuwɔƒe,

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

gake Mawu ada aŋutrɔ wo eye wòalɔ wo zi ɖeka kpoyi woamu adze anyi.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Ana woawo ŋutɔ ƒe aɖe nade wo nya me eye wòahe wo ade tsɔtsrɔ̃ me. Ame siwo katã akpɔ wo la aʋuʋu ta ɖe wo ŋu fewuɖutɔe.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Tete vɔvɔ̃ aɖo amegbetɔƒomea katã; woado Mawu ƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ɖe dzi, eye woade ŋugble le nu si wòwɔ la ŋuti.

10 The righteous shall be glad in Yhwh, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Ame dzɔdzɔe akpɔ dzidzɔ le Yehowa me, eye wòasii atso. Ame siwo katã dza le woƒe dzi me la akafui!
