Psalms 9
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all your marvellous works.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “ŋutsuvi la ƒe ku” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Makafu wò, O! Yehowa, kple nye dzi blibo, maɖe wò nukunuwɔwɔwo katã afia.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you: I will sing praise to your name, O you most High.
Dzi adzɔm, eye matso aseye le mewò; O Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, madzi kafukafuhawo na wò ŋkɔ.
3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at your presence.
Nye futɔwo trɔ megbe; wokli nu, eye wo katã wotsrɔ̃ le ŋkuwò me.
4 For you have maintained my right and my cause; you sat in the throne judging right.
Elabena wòe xɔ nye nya, eye nèɖe nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe go. Ènɔ wò fiazikpui dzi, eye nèdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe.
5 You have rebuked the heathen, you have destroyed the wicked, you have put out their name for ever and ever.
Èka mo na dukɔwo, eye nètsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo hetutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
6 O you enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and you have destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
Tsɔtsrɔ̃ mavɔ va futɔ la dzi, elabena èho woƒe duwo, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi gɔ̃ hã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
7 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
Yehowa aɖu fia tegbetegbe; eɖo eƒe fiazikpui anyi hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃.
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu xexea me le dzɔdzɔenyenye me; akplɔ dukɔwo katã le nuteƒewɔwɔ me.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
Yehowa nye sitsoƒe na ame siwo wote ɖe anyi kple mɔ sesẽ le xaxaɣiwo.
10 And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.
Ame siwo nya wò ŋkɔ la aɖo dzi ɖe ŋuwò, elabena wò Yehowa, megble ame siwo dia wò la ɖi kpɔ o.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwells in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
Midzi kafukafuhawo na Yehowa, ame si nɔ fiazikpui dzi gli le Zion, miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
12 When he makes inquisition for blood, he remembers them: he forgets not the cry of the humble.
Elabena eya, ame si biaa hlɔ̃ hlɔ̃dolawo la, ɖoa ŋku edzi, medoa toku hiãtɔwo ƒe ɣlidodo o.
13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, you that lift me up from the gates of death:
O Yehowa, kpɔ ale si nye futɔwo le yonyeme tim ɖa! Kpɔ nye nublanui, eye nàkɔm tso ku ƒe agbowo me,
14 That I may show forth all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in your salvation.
be maɖe wò kafukafu afia le Zion Vinyɔnu ƒe agbowo me, eye le afi ma matso aseye le ɖeɖe si nènam la ta.
15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
Dukɔwo ge dze do si woawo ŋutɔ woɖe la me; woƒe afɔwo ɖo ɖɔ si woawo ŋutɔ woɖo ɖi le bebeme la me.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executes: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia to eƒe ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ me; ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo atsɔ wo ade mɔ me. Ŋugbledede. (Sela)
Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo gbugbɔ yi yɔ me, nenema kee nye dukɔ siwo ŋlɔ Mawu be. (Sheol h7585)
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Ke womaŋlɔ hiãtɔ be ɖikaa alo ame si le fu kpem la, mɔkpɔkpɔ nabu ɖee o.
19 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in your sight.
Tso, O Yehowa! Mègana amegbetɔ naɖu dzi o, na woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔwo le ŋkuwò me.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
O! Yehowa, ƒo wo ƒu anyi kple ŋɔdzi; na dukɔwo nanya be amegbetɔwo yewonye. (Sela)
