Psalms 43

1 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, You deliver me from a man of deceit and perverseness,

O! Mawu, tso afia nam, eye nàʋli tanye le mawumavɔ̃lawo dome, ɖem tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple ameblelawo ƒe asi me.

2 For you [are] the God of my strength. Why have You cast me off? Why do I go up and down mourning, In the oppression of an enemy?

Wòe nye Mawu, nye mɔ sesẽ. Nu ka ta nègbem ɖo? Nu ka ta manɔ yiyim, anɔ nu xam le nye futɔwo ƒe teteɖeanyi ta ɖo?

3 Send forth Your light and Your truth, They lead me, they bring me in, To Your holy hill, and to Your dwelling places.

Ɖo wò kekeli kple nyateƒe ɖa, ne woakplɔm; na woakplɔm ayi ɖe wò to kɔkɔe la dzi, afi si nènɔna.

4 And I go to the altar of God, To God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank You with a harp, O God, my God.

Ekema mayi ɖe Mawu ƒe vɔsamlekpui ŋgɔ, Mawu si nye nye aseyetsotso kple nye dzidzɔ. O! Mawu, nye Mawu, makafu wò kple kasaŋku.

5 Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

O! Nye luʋɔ, nu ka ta nèle nu xam ɖo? Nu ka ta nètsi dzodzodzoe le menye ɖo? Tsɔ wò mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe Mawu dzi, elabena magakafui, eya ame si nye nye Ɖela kple nye Mawu.
