Psalms 13

1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your from me.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi? Ɖe nàŋlɔm be ɖikaɖika? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nàɣla wò ŋkume ɖem?

2 Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my over me.

Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi mawɔ avu kple nye tamesusu, eye gbe sia gbe nuxaxa nayɔ nye dzi me? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nye futɔwo aɖu dzinye?

3 Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.

Kpɔm ɖa, eye nàɖo nya ŋu nam, O! Yehowa, nye Mawu. Na kekeli naklẽ ɖe nye ŋkuwo dzi, ne menye nenema o la, madɔ alɔ̃ ayi ku me.

4 Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.

Ekema nye futɔwo agblɔ be, “Meɖu edzi,” eye nye ketɔwo akpɔ dzidzɔ ne medze anyi.

5 And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your

Ke nye ya meɖo dzi ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu, nye dzi le aseye tsom le wò xɔname ŋuti.

6 I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.

Madzi ha na Yehowa, elabena ewɔ nyui nam.
