Psalms 33
1 [A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.
Midzi ha kple dzidzɔ na Yehowa, mi ame dzɔdzɔewo; edze mi ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka la be woakafui.
2 Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.
5 He loves mercy and judgment; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.
7 Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.
9 For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
Elabena eƒo nu, eye wòva dzɔ; eɖe gbe, eye wòli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ.
10 The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.
11 But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
Ke Yehowa ya ƒe ɖoɖowo nɔa anyi maʋamaʋãe ɖikaa, eye eƒe dzimesusuwo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Woayra dukɔ si ƒe Mawue nye Yehowa, ame siwo wòtia be woanyi yeƒe dome.
13 The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.
14 He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
15 who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
eya ame si wɔ ame sia ame ƒe dzi, eye wòléa ŋku ɖe nu sia nu si wowɔna la ŋu.
16 A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
Aʋakɔ gbogbo si le fia aɖe si la mate ŋu aɖee o, eye ŋusẽ triakɔ hã meɖea kalẽtɔ o.
17 A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
Ne eɖo ɖeɖe dzi la, sɔ maɖe ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe edzi o, togbɔ be ŋusẽ triakɔ le esi hã la, mate ŋu aɖee o.
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
Ke Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la ŋu, ame siwo tsɔa woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ dana ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la dzi,
19 to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.
20 Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
Míaƒe dziwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm le eya amea me, elabena mieka ɖe eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la dzi.
22 Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
O! Yehowa, na wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la, nanɔ mía dzi abe ale si míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò ene.
