Psalms 31
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, mewòe mebe ɖo; mègana ŋu nakpem akpɔ gbeɖe o; ɖem le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye la ta.
2 Bow down thy ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
Ƒu to anyi ɖe ŋunye, va kaba nàɖem, nànye nye xɔxɔ ƒe agakpe kple mɔ sesẽ ne nàɖem.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
Le wò ŋkɔ la ta, kplɔm, eye nàfia mɔm, elabena wòe nye nye agakpe kple mɔ sesẽ.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me: for thou art my strength.
Ɖem le mɔ si woɖo ɖi nam la me, elabena wòe nye nye mɔ sesẽ.
5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
Asiwò me metsɔ nye gbɔgbɔ de, eya ta Yehowa, nyateƒe ƒe Mawu, va nàɖem.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Metsri ame siwo ku ɖe legba maɖinuwo ŋu; ke nye la meku ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
Makpɔ dzidzɔ, eye matso aseye le wò lɔlɔ̃ la me, elabena èkpɔ nye hiã henya nye luʋɔ ƒe nuxaxa.
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
Mètsɔm de asi na nye futɔ o, ke boŋ èɖo nye afɔ gbadzaƒe.
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui nam, elabena nye dzi ʋu dzo, nuxaxa na nye ŋkuwo dzi wɔ dɔ̃ɔ, eye konyifafa na nye luʋɔ kple ŋutilã gbɔdzɔ.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
Vevesese sɔŋ yɔ nye agbe me, eye ŋeŋe xɔ nye agbenɔƒewo me. Ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye le nye fukpekpewo ta, eye nye ƒuwo hã nyunyɔ ɖe lãme nam.
11 I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
Le nye futɔwo ƒe nuwɔnawo ta mezu alɔmeɖenu na nye aƒelikawo vevie ŋutɔ. Mezu ŋɔdzinu na xɔ̃nyewo, eye ame siwo do gom le mɔtata dzi la sina le nunye.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
Woŋlɔm be abe ɖe meku xoxo ene, ale mezu ze gbagbã.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
Mese ame geɖewo ƒe ameŋugblẽnyawo; ŋɔdzi ɖe to ɖem, wode adaŋu tso ŋunye, eye woɖo nugbe be yewoaɖe nye agbe ɖa.
14 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
Ke wò, Yehowa, dzie meka ɖo; megblɔ be, “Wòe nye nye Mawu.”
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Nye ɣeyiɣiwo le asiwò me; ɖem tso nye futɔwo kple ame siwo le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
Na wò mo naklẽ ɖe wò dɔla dzi, ɖem le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
O! Yehowa, mègana ŋu nakpem o, elabena wòe medo ɣli na; ke na ŋu nakpe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye ɖoɖoe nazi le wo nu le yɔme. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
De ga nu na woƒe alakpanuyiwo, elabena wotsɔa dada kple ɖekematsɔleme gblɔa nya vlo ɖe ame dzɔdzɔe ŋu.
19 O how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
Wò nu nyui siwo nèdzra ɖo ɖi na ame siwo vɔ̃a wò la lolo ŋutɔ. Nu nyui siwo nèkɔ ɖe ame siwo si wò tso dzi le amewo ƒe ŋkume la lolo.
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Èɣla wo ɖe ɣaɣlaƒe si le gbɔwò, tso amewo ƒe ayemenuwo gbɔ. Èɣla wo ɖe nɔwòƒe be woanɔ dedie tso aɖeɖiƒoame gbɔ.
21 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath showed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
Woakafu Yehowa, elabena eɖe eƒe nukulɔlɔ̃ la fiam le esime mele du si ŋu woƒu kpo ɖo la me.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thy eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried to thee.
Megblɔ le nye dzikatsoƒo me be: “Woɖem ɖa le wò ŋkume azɔ!” Ke hã la, èse nye nublanuiɣlidodo esi meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam.
23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Milɔ̃ Yehowa, mi eƒe ame kɔkɔewo! Yehowa kpɔa nuteƒewɔlawo ta, ke eɖoa eteƒe na dadalawo wòsɔa gbɔ dea woƒe nuwɔnawo nu.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Misẽ ŋu, eye milé dzi ɖe ƒo, mi ame siwo katã tsɔ miaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ de Yehowa me.
