Psalms 138

1 Yahweh, I thank you with all my inner being. I sing to praise you in front of [the idols of false] gods [to ridicule/belittle them].

David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, makafu wò kple nye dzi blibo; madzi wò kafukafuha le mawuwo ŋkume.

2 I bow down while I look towards your sacred temple, and I thank you [MTY] because you faithfully love [us] and faithfully do all that you have promised. You have shown that both you [MTY] and what you have promised to do are greater than anything else.

Made ta agu do ɖe wò gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la gbɔ, eye makafu wò ŋkɔ, le wò lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ ta, elabena èkɔ, wò ŋkɔ kple wò nya gbɔ nu sia nu ta sãsãsã.

3 On the day when I called out to you, you answered me; you enabled me to be strong and brave.

Ètɔ nam esi meyɔ wò, eye nède dzi ƒo nam, hedo ŋusẽ nye dzi.

4 Yahweh, [some day] all the kings of this earth will praise you, because they will have heard what you have said.

O! Yehowa, anyigbadzifiawo katã akafu wò, ne wose wò numenya.

5 They will sing about what you have done; they will sing and say that you are very great.

Na woadzi ha le Yehowa ƒe mɔwo ŋu, elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe lolo.

6 Yahweh, you are supreme, but you take care of people [who are considered to be] unimportant. And you know what proud people [are doing], even though they are far away [from you and think that you do not see them].

Togbɔ be Yehowa le dzi me ke hã la, ekpɔa ame dahewo gbɔ, ke edzea si dadala tso adzɔge.

7 When I am in the midst of [many] troubles/difficulties, you save/rescue me. With your hand/power [MTY] you rescue me from my enemies who are angry at me.

Togbɔ be mele zɔzɔm le xaxa me hã la, èkpɔ nye agbe ta, eye nèkɔ wò asi dzi do ɖe nye futɔwo ƒe dɔmedzoe ŋu, hetsɔ wò nuɖusi xɔ nam.

8 Yahweh, you will do for me everything that you promised; you faithfully love [us] forever. Finish what you started to do [for us, your Israeli people.]

Yehowa ana eƒe ta me si wòɖo ɖe ŋunye la nava eme. O! Yehowa, wò lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa, mègagblẽ wò asinudɔwɔwɔwo ɖi o.
