Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
David ƒe ha si wɔa dɔ ɖe ame dzi. O! Mawu, na manɔ dedie, elabena wò mee mebe ɖo.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my LORD: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
Megblɔ na Yehowa be, “Wòe nye nye Aƒetɔ; nu nyui aɖeke mele asinye kpe ɖe ŋuwò o.”
3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
Ame kɔkɔe siwo le anyigba dzi la woe nye bubume siwo ƒe nu nyoa ŋunye vevie.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into my lips.
Ame siwo ati mawu tutɔwo yome la, adzi woƒe vevesesewo ɖe edzi. Nyemasa woƒe ʋuvɔsawo na mawu mawo, alo ayɔ woƒe ŋkɔwo o.
5 The LORD [is] the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Yehowa, èɖo tɔnye gome kple nye kplu da ɖi nam; èna nye gomekpɔkpɔ le dedie nam.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places]; yes, I have a goodly heritage.
Liƒo ƒe dzidzeka la dze teƒe nyuiwo nam; le nyateƒe me la, domenyinu si do dzidzɔ nam la su asinye.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
Makafu Yehowa, ame si ɖoa aɖaŋu nam; le zã me ke hã, nye dzi xlɔ̃a num.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Metsɔ Yehowa ɖo ŋkunye me ɖaa, elabena ele nye nuɖusime, eya ta nyemavɔ̃ o.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Esia ta nye dzi le dzidzɔ kpɔm, nye aɖe tso aseye, eye nye ŋutilã hã agbɔ ɖe eme le dedinɔnɔ me,
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
elabena màgblẽm ɖi na yɔdo alo ana wò, Kɔkɔetɔ la, nàkpɔ gbegblẽ o. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for evermore.
Èna menya agbemɔ la; àtsɔ dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ayɔ menye le ŋkuwò me, eye matsɔ vivisese si mevɔna o la anɔ wò nuɖusime tegbee.
