Psalms 25
1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, wòe mekɔ nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me,
O! Nye Mawu, ŋuwòe meɖo dzi ɖo. Mègana ŋu nakpem, alo nàɖe mɔ nye futɔwo naɖu dzinye o.
3 Also, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed who transgress without cause.
Ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò la, ŋu makpee akpɔ gbeɖe o; gake ŋu akpe ame siwo nye vivimenuwɔlawo.
4 Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔwo kple wò toƒewom,
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
kplɔm le wò nyateƒe la me, eye nàfia num, elabena wòe nye nye Mawu kple nye Ɖela, eye nye mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò ŋkeke blibo la katã.
6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku wò lɔlɔ̃ kple wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔgbɔ la dzi, elabena woli tso blema ke.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
O! Yehowa, mègaɖo ŋku nye ɖekakpuimenu vɔ̃wo kple nye aglãdzemɔwo dzi o; ke boŋ ɖo ŋku dzinye le wò lɔlɔ̃ la ta, elabena nyuiwɔwɔ le mewò.
8 Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Yehowa nyo, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe, eya ta efiaa eƒe mɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
Ekplɔa ɖokuibɔbɔlawo to nu dzɔdzɔe wɔwɔ me, eye wòfiaa eƒe mɔ wo.
10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Yehowa ƒe mɔwo katã nye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ na ame siwo léa eƒe nubablamenyawo ɖe asi.
11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity; for it [is] great.
O! Yehowa, togbɔ be nye dzidada sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe hã la, tsɔ wo kem le wò ŋkɔ la ta.
12 What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.
Ekema ame kawoe nye ŋutsu ma siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa? Afia nu wo le mɔ si woato la dzi.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
Woakpɔ dzidzedze le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo me, eye woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
14 The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
Yehowa gblɔa nya ɣaɣlawo na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye wòɖea eƒe nubabla fiaa wo.
15 My eyes [are] ever towards the LORD; for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
Nye ŋkuwo le Yehowa ŋu ɖaa, elabena eya koe aɖe nye afɔ le mɔ me.
16 Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me; for I [am] desolate and afflicted.
Trɔ ɖe ŋunye ne nàve nunye, elabena metsi akogo, eye hiã tum.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
Nye dzi ƒe nuxaxawo do gã ɖe edzi, na vovom tso nye vevesesewo me.
18 Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
Nye kɔ nàkpɔ nye nuxaxa kple nye vevesese ɖa, eye nàɖe nye nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
Kpɔ ale si nye futɔwo dzi ɖe edzii ɖa, eye nàkpɔ ale si wolé fum ɖikaɖikae ɖa!
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
Kpɔ nye agbe ta, eye nàɖem; megana ŋu nakpem o, elabena mewòe mebe ɖo.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
Nuteƒewɔwɔ kple dzɔdzɔenyenye nedzɔ ŋunye, elabena nye mɔkpɔkpɔ le mewò.
22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
O! Mawu, ɖe Israel tso woƒe xaxawo katã me.
