< Psalms 108 >
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
Hadzidzi. David ƒe ha. O! Mawu, nye dzi le te goŋgoŋgoŋ. Madzi ha, aƒo saŋku kple nye luʋɔ blibo.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Saŋku kple kasaŋku, minyɔ! Manyɔ fɔŋli.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
O! Yehowa, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha le ŋuwò le anyigbadzitɔwo dome,
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ de blibo, hekɔ wu dziƒowo, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ lilikpowo.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
O! Mawu, woado wò ɖe dzi agbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, eye na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
Ɖe mí, eye nàkpe ɖe mía ŋu kple wò nuɖusibɔ, be ame siwo nèlɔ̃ vevie la nakpɔ ɖeɖe.
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be, “Mama Sekem le dziɖuɖu me, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime.
8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee; nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
Moab nye nye tsiletɔkpo, matsɔ nye atokota aƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye mado dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ŋu.”
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Ame ka akplɔm ayi du sesẽ la mee? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe oa? Nu ka wɔ nègbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo o?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Kpe ɖe mía ŋu ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena èna amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele nemi hã me o.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Ne Mawu le mía dzi la, míaɖu dzi, eye wòafanya míaƒe futɔwo ɖe eƒe afɔ te.
