Psalms 57
1 For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for I take refuge in you until these troubles are over. I stay under your wings for protection until this destruction is over.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Mègagblẽ nu o” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Ekpa ha sia esi wòsi le Saul nu yi ɖabe ɖe agado aɖe me. Kpɔ nye nublanui, O! Mawu, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena wò mee nye luʋɔ kpɔ sitsoƒe le. Wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te mabe ɖo va se ɖe esime gbegblẽ la nu nava yi.
2 I will cry to God Most High, to God, who does all things for me.
Mawu, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ lae medo ɣli na, Mawu si wɔa ɖoɖo si wòwɔ ɖe ŋunye la dzi.
3 He will send help from heaven and save me, he is angry with those who crush me. (Selah) God will send me his loving kindness and his faithfulness.
Edɔ xɔnametɔ tso dziƒo, eye wòxɔ nam heka mo na ame siwo le yonyeme tim kutɔkutɔe. (Sela) Mawu dɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple eƒe nuteƒewɔwɔ ɖa.
4 My life is among lions; I am among those who are ready to devour me. I am among people whose teeth are spears and arrows, and whose tongues are sharp swords.
Mele dzatawo dome, memlɔ lã lénuwo dome, amegbetɔ siwo ƒe aɖuwo nye akplɔwo kple aŋutrɔwo, eye woƒe aɖewo nye yi ɖaɖɛwo.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.
Medo wò ɖe dzi, O Mawu, gbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naklẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
6 They spread out a net for my feet; I was distressed. They dug a pit in front of me. They themselves have fallen into the middle of it! (Selah)
Woɖo ɖɔ ɖi na nye afɔ, ena mete ɖe anyi kple nuxaxa. Woɖe ʋe ɖe mɔ dzi nam, gake woawo ŋutɔ ge dze eme. (Sela)
7 My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
Nye dzi li ke sesĩe, O Mawu, nye dzi li ke sesĩe, eya ta madzi ha aƒo saŋku.
8 Wake up, my honored heart; wake up, lute and harp; I will wake up the dawn.
Nyɔ, nye luʋɔ! Nyɔ, kasaŋku kple gasaŋku! Mana fɔŋli nanyɔ!
9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
O! Aƒetɔ, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha na wò le dukɔwo dome,
10 For great is your unfailing love, reaching to the heavens; and your faithfulness to the clouds.
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ keke ta, yi ɖatɔ dziƒo ke, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ dziŋgɔli.
11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens; may your glory be exalted over all the earth.
Medo wò ɖe dzi, O Mawu, gbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naklẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
