Psalms 77
1 For the chief musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A psalm of Asaph. I will call out with my voice to God; I will call with my voice to God, and my God will hear me.
Asaf ƒe ha na Hɛnɔ Yedutun. Medo ɣli na Mawu be wòaxɔ nam; medo ɣli na Mawu be wòaɖo tom.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; at night I stretched my hands out, and they would not become tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
Esi meɖo xaxa me la, medi Aƒetɔ la; le zã me la, meke nye abɔwo me, gake ɖeɖi mete wo ŋu o, eye nye luʋɔ gbe akɔfafaxɔxɔ.
3 I thought of God as I groaned; I thought about him as I grew faint. (Selah)
O! Mawu, meɖo ŋku dziwò, eye meɖe hũu. Mele ŋeŋem, eye nu te nye gbɔgbɔ ŋu. (Sela)
4 You held my eyes open; I was too troubled to speak.
Èna nye ŋkuwo gbe miamia; fuɖeɖewo sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be nyemate ŋu aƒo nu o.
5 I thought about the days of old, about times long past.
Mebu gbe aɖe gbe ŋkekewo kple blemaƒewo ŋu.
6 During the night I called to mind the song I once sang. I thought carefully and tried to understand what had happened.
Tete meɖo ŋku ha siwo medzina le zã me la dzi. Nye dzi gbã, eye nye gbɔgbɔ bia be:
7 Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me favor?
“Ɖe Aƒetɔ la agbe ame tegbetegbea? Ɖe magave ame nu akpɔ oa?
8 Was his covenant faithfulness gone forever? Had his promise failed forever?
Ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la vɔ tegbetegbea? Ɖe eƒe ŋugbedodo vɔ hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã?
9 Had God forgotten to be gracious? Had his anger shut off his compassion? (Selah)
Ɖe Mawu ŋlɔ nublanuikpɔkpɔ bea? Ɖe wòɖo asi eƒe dɔmenyonyo dzi le dɔmedzoe ta?” (Sela)
10 I said, “This is my sorrow: the changing of the right hand of the Most High toward us.”
Tete megblɔ be, “Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe nuɖusi ƒe ƒewo ko maƒo koko na.”
11 But I will call to mind your deeds, Yahweh; I will think about your wonderful deeds of old.
Maɖo ŋku Yehowa ƒe nuwɔwɔwo dzi, ɛ̃, maɖo ŋku nukunu siwo nèwɔ le blema la dzi.
12 I will ponder all your deeds and will reflect on them.
Made ŋugble le wò dɔwɔwɔwo katã ŋu, eye mabu ta me le wò nuwɔwɔ dzɔatsuwo ŋu.
13 Your way, God, is holy; what god compares to our great God?
O! Mawu, wò mɔwo le kɔkɔe mawu kae lolo abe míaƒe Mawu la ene?
14 You are the God who does wonders; you have revealed your strength among the peoples.
Wòe nye Mawu si wɔ nukunuwo, eye nèɖe wò ŋusẽ fia le dukɔwo dome.
15 You gave your people victory by your great power— the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Ètsɔ wò abɔ sesẽ la ɖe wò dukɔ la, ame siwo nye Yakob kple Yosef ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Sela)
16 The waters saw you, God; the waters saw you, and they were afraid; the depths trembled.
O! Mawu, tsiwo kpɔ wò, tsiwo kpɔ wò, eye woŋe, gogloƒewo ke hã dzo nyanyanya.
17 The clouds poured down water; the cloudy skies gave voice; your arrows flew about.
Lilikpo ɖuɖu tsi bababa, dziŋgɔli ɖe gbe, eye wò aŋutrɔwo klẽ dzo bibibi, yi gagbɔ.
18 Your thunderous voice was heard in the wind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
Wose wò gbeɖeɖe le yali me, wò dzikedzo klẽ ɖe xexea me, eye anyigba ʋuʋu hedzo nyanyanya.
19 Your path went through the sea and your way through the surging waters, but your footprints were not seen.
Wò mɔ to atsiaƒu me, eye wò toƒe le tɔ gãwo me, gake womekpɔa wò afɔteƒe o.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Èkplɔ wò dukɔ abe alẽha ene, to Mose kple Aron ƒe asiwo dzi.
