< Psalms 70 >
1 To the Overseer, by David. — 'To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Kukuɖeɖe. O! Mawu, netsɔ nàɖem; O! Yehowa, va kaba nàxɔ nam.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.
Ŋukpe kple tɔtɔ neva ame siwo le nye agbe yome tim la dzi. Ame siwo le nye gbegblẽ dim la negbugbɔ ɖe megbe kple ŋukpe.
3 Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'
Na be ame siwo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Ɛhɛ̃! Ɛhɛ̃!” la natrɔ megbe adzo kple ŋukpe.
4 Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'
Ke ame siwo dia wò la netso aseye; woakpɔ dzidzɔ le mewò, eye ame siwo lɔ̃a wò xɔname la negblɔ ɖaa be, “Woado Mawu ɖe dzi ɖaa!”
5 And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
Ke nye la, O Mawu, meda ahe, eye hiã tum, eya ta va gbɔnye kaba. O! Yehowa, mègahe ɖe megbe o, elabena wòe nye nye xɔnametɔ kple nye Ɖela.
