< Psalms 108 >

1 “A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.
Hadzidzi. David ƒe ha. O! Mawu, nye dzi le te goŋgoŋgoŋ. Madzi ha, aƒo saŋku kple nye luʋɔ blibo.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
Saŋku kple kasaŋku, minyɔ! Manyɔ fɔŋli.
3 I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
O! Yehowa, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha le ŋuwò le anyigbadzitɔwo dome,
4 For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ de blibo, hekɔ wu dziƒowo, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ lilikpowo.
5 Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.
O! Mawu, woado wò ɖe dzi agbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, eye na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
6 In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.
Ɖe mí, eye nàkpe ɖe mía ŋu kple wò nuɖusibɔ, be ame siwo nèlɔ̃ vevie la nakpɔ ɖeɖe.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be, “Mama Sekem le dziɖuɖu me, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime.
8 Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.
Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee; nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab nye nye tsiletɔkpo, matsɔ nye atokota aƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye mado dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ŋu.”
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?
Ame ka akplɔm ayi du sesẽ la mee? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
11 Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.
O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe oa? Nu ka wɔ nègbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo o?
12 Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.
Kpe ɖe mía ŋu ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena èna amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele nemi hã me o.
13 Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Ne Mawu le mía dzi la, míaɖu dzi, eye wòafanya míaƒe futɔwo ɖe eƒe afɔ te.
