Psalms 7
1 A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
David ƒe konyifaha si wòdzi na Yehowa le Benyamintɔ, Kus ƒe nyawo ta. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, wòe mesi tso, xɔ nam, eye nàɖem tso ame siwo katã le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
2 Lest he tear my soul as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
Ne menye nenema o la, woavuvum abe ale si dzata vuvua nui ene, eye woavuvum ʋayaʋaya, xɔnametɔ aɖeke mava ɖem o.
3 O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, ne mewɔ nu sia, eye vɔ̃ lé ɖe nye asiwo ŋu,
4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
ne mewɔ nu vɔɖi ɖe ame si li kplim le ŋutifafa me ŋuti alo meda adzo nye futɔ naneke mawɔmawɔtɔe la,
5 [Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places my glory in the dust. (Selah)
ekema na nye futɔ nati yonyeme, eye eƒe asi nasu dzinye; na be wòafanyam ɖe anyigba, eye wòana matsi ke me adɔ. (Sela)
6 Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
O! Yehowa, tso, le wò dziku me; tso ɖe nye futɔwo ƒe nyanyra ŋuti. Nyɔ, nye Mawu, ne nàɖo ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ anyi.
7 And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
Na be amehawo naƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò. Ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi tso dziƒo;
8 YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
na be Yehowa nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔ la. O! Yehowa, tso afia nam le nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, O! Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, tso afia nam le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
O! Mawu dzɔdzɔetɔ, ame si dzroa susuwo kple dziwo me, na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ nu natso, eye nàna dedinɔnɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo.
10 My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
Nye akpoxɔnue nye Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ame si ɖea ame si dza le eƒe dzi me.
11 God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
Mawue nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe, Mawu si ɖea eƒe dɔmedzoe fiana gbe sia gbe.
12 If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
Nu metia kɔ nɛ o, anyre eƒe yi, eye wòavu eƒe dati me.
13 Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
Edzra eƒe lãnuwo ɖo da ɖi, eye eƒe aŋutrɔ bibiawo la etrɔ asi le wo ŋu wosɔ gbe.
14 Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
Ame si fɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi ƒe fu, eye dzɔgbevɔ̃e zu fu wòfɔ la, adzi beble ƒe vi.
15 He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
Ame si ɖe ʋe, heku eme wògoglo nyuie la age dze ʋe si eya ŋutɔ ɖe la me.
16 His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si wòhe vɛ la atrɔ abali ɖe eya ŋutɔ ŋuti, eye eƒe ŋutasesẽ atrɔ ava eya ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.
17 I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
Mada akpe na Yehowa le eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, eye madzi kafukafuha na Yehowa Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ.
