Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
David ƒe konyifaha si wòdzi na Yehowa le Benyamintɔ, Kus ƒe nyawo ta. O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, wòe mesi tso, xɔ nam, eye nàɖem tso ame siwo katã le yonyeme tim la ƒe asi me.
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Ne menye nenema o la, woavuvum abe ale si dzata vuvua nui ene, eye woavuvum ʋayaʋaya, xɔnametɔ aɖeke mava ɖem o.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
O! Yehowa, nye Mawu, ne mewɔ nu sia, eye vɔ̃ lé ɖe nye asiwo ŋu,
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
ne mewɔ nu vɔɖi ɖe ame si li kplim le ŋutifafa me ŋuti alo meda adzo nye futɔ naneke mawɔmawɔtɔe la,
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honour in the dust. (Selah)
ekema na nye futɔ nati yonyeme, eye eƒe asi nasu dzinye; na be wòafanyam ɖe anyigba, eye wòana matsi ke me adɔ. (Sela)
6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
O! Yehowa, tso, le wò dziku me; tso ɖe nye futɔwo ƒe nyanyra ŋuti. Nyɔ, nye Mawu, ne nàɖo ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ anyi.
7 So shall the congregation of the people surround thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
Na be amehawo naƒo ƒu ɖe ŋuwò. Ɖu fia ɖe wo dzi tso dziƒo;
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.
na be Yehowa nadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔ la. O! Yehowa, tso afia nam le nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, O! Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, tso afia nam le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.
9 O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
O! Mawu dzɔdzɔetɔ, ame si dzroa susuwo kple dziwo me, na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ nu natso, eye nàna dedinɔnɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo.
10 My defence is from God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Nye akpoxɔnue nye Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ame si ɖea ame si dza le eƒe dzi me.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Mawue nye ʋɔnudrɔ̃la dzɔdzɔe, Mawu si ɖea eƒe dɔmedzoe fiana gbe sia gbe.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
Nu metia kɔ nɛ o, anyre eƒe yi, eye wòavu eƒe dati me.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Edzra eƒe lãnuwo ɖo da ɖi, eye eƒe aŋutrɔ bibiawo la etrɔ asi le wo ŋu wosɔ gbe.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Ame si fɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi ƒe fu, eye dzɔgbevɔ̃e zu fu wòfɔ la, adzi beble ƒe vi.
15 He made a pit, and dug it, and hath fallen into the ditch which he made.
Ame si ɖe ʋe, heku eme wògoglo nyuie la age dze ʋe si eya ŋutɔ ɖe la me.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon the crown of his head.
Dzɔgbevɔ̃e si wòhe vɛ la atrɔ abali ɖe eya ŋutɔ ŋuti, eye eƒe ŋutasesẽ atrɔ ava eya ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
Mada akpe na Yehowa le eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye ta, eye madzi kafukafuha na Yehowa Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ.
