Psalmowo 107
1 Mida akpe na Yehowa, elabena enyo, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.
Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.
2 Ame siwo Yehowa ɖe la negblɔ esia; ame siwo wòɖe tso futɔ la ƒe asi me,
Let them, which haue bene redeemed of the Lord, shewe how he hath deliuered them from the hand of the oppressour,
3 ame siwo nu wòƒo ƒui tso anyigbawo dzi, tso ɣedzeƒe kple ɣetoɖoƒe, anyiehe kple dziehe.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South.
4 Ame aɖewo tsa tsaglãla le gbedzi kple gbedadaƒo, eye womekpɔ mɔ si woato ayi du aɖe si me woanɔ la o.
When they wandered in the desert and wildernesse out of the waie, and founde no citie to dwell in,
5 Dɔ kple tsikɔ wu wo, eye nu te woƒe luʋɔ ŋu le wo me.
Both hungrie and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.
6 Tete wodo ɣli yɔ Yehowa le woƒe xaxa la me, eye wòɖe wo le woƒe hiã la me.
Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse,
7 Ekplɔ wo tẽe yi ɖe du aɖe si me woanɔ.
And led them forth by the right way, that they might goe to a citie of habitation.
8 Woneda akpe na Yehowa le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta kple eƒe nukudɔ siwo wòwɔna na amewo la ta.
Let them therefore confesse before ye Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.
9 Elabena etsɔa nu nyuiwo ɖia ƒoe na ame siwo dɔ kple tsikɔ le wuwum.
For he satisfied the thirstie soule, and filled the hungrie soule with goodnesse.
10 Ame aɖewo nɔ viviti kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi me, gamenɔla siwo le fu kpem le gakɔsɔkɔsɔwo me,
They that dwell in darkenesse and in the shadowe of death, being bounde in miserie and yron,
11 elabena wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ƒe nyawo ŋuti, eye wodo vlo Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe aɖaŋudede.
Because they rebelled against the wordes of the Lord, and despised the counsell of the most High,
12 Eya ta wòtsɔ wo de asi na dɔ sesẽ wɔwɔ, womu sɔgɔsɔgɔsɔgɔ, eye ame aɖeke meli akpe ɖe wo ŋu o.
When he humbled their heart with heauines, then they fell downe and there was no helper.
13 Tete wodo ɣli na Yehowa le woƒe xaxa la me, eye wòɖe wo le woƒe hiã la me.
Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse.
14 Eɖe wo le viviti kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖitsiɖi la me, eye wòtso woƒe gakɔsɔkɔsɔwo.
He brought them out of darkenes, and out of the shadowe of death, and brake their bandes asunder.
15 Woneda akpe na Yehowa le eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ta kple eƒe nukudɔ siwo wòwɔna na amewo la ta,
Let them therefore cofesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.
16 elabena eŋe akɔbligbowo, eye wòlã gayibɔ ƒe gametiwo me.
For hee hath broken the gates of brasse, and brast the barres of yron asunder.
17 Wo dometɔ aɖewo zu bometsilawo to woƒe aglãdzenuwo wɔwɔ me, eye wokpe fu le woƒe dzidadawo ta.
Fooles by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.
18 Wonyɔ ŋu nuɖuɖu ɖe sia ɖe, eye woɖo ku ƒe agbowo nu.
Their soule abhorreth al meat, and they are brought to deaths doore.
19 Wodo ɣli na Yehowa le woƒe xaxa la me, eye wòɖe wo le woƒe hiã la me.
Then they crie vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuereth them from their distresse.
20 Edɔ eƒe nya ɖa, eye wòyɔ dɔ wo, heɖe wo tso tsiẽƒe.

25 elabena eƒo nu, elɔ ahom kɔ ɖe ƒu la dzi, eye eƒe tsotsoewo dze agbo.
For he commaundeth and raiseth the stormie winde, and it lifteth vp the waues thereof.
26 Woyi dziƒo boo, eye wogadze eme le gogloƒe ke, ale le woƒe agbe ƒe xaxa me, woƒe dzideƒo lolo gbana.
They mount vp to the heauen, and descend to ye deepe, so that their soule melteth for trouble.
27 Wole mumum sɔgɔsɔgɔsɔgɔ, le nu klim abe ame siwo mu aha ene, eye womegale naneke gɔme sem o.

Let them therfore confesse before the Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.
32 Wonedoe ɖe dzi le dukɔ la ƒe ƒuƒoƒo me, eye woakafui le dumegãwo ƒe takpekpe me.
And let them exalt him in the Congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders.
33 Etrɔ tɔsisiwo wozu gbegbe kple tsidzɔƒewo wozu kuɖiɖinyigba,
He turneth the floodes into a wildernesse, and the springs of waters into drinesse,
34 eye agbledeƒe zu dzeƒi le ame siwo le teƒe ma ƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ ta.
And a fruitfull land into barrennes for the wickednes of them that dwell therein.
35 Etrɔ gbegbe wòzu tɔʋu, eye kuɖiɖinyigba zu tsidzɔƒe;

And sowe the fieldes, and plant vineyardes, which bring foorth fruitfull increase.
38 Eyra wo, eye woƒe xexlẽme dzi ɖe edzi ŋutɔ. Nenema ke mena woƒe lãhawo dzi ɖe kpɔtɔ o.
For he blesseth them, and they multiplie exceedingly, and he diminisheth not their cattell.
39 Tete wozu ʋɛ, wobɔbɔ wo ɖe anyi le teteɖeanyi, dzɔgbevɔ̃e kple nuxaxa me;
Againe men are diminished, and brought lowe by oppression, euill and sorowe.
40 eye eya ame si trɔa vlododo kɔna ɖe ame ŋkutawo dzi la, wɔe be wole tsaglãla tsam le gbegbe afi si mɔtoƒe aɖeke mele o.
He powreth contempt vpon princes, and causeth them to erre in desert places out of the way.
41 Ke ekɔ hiãtɔwo ɖe dzi tso woƒe hiã me, eye wòna woƒe ƒome dzi ɖe edzi abe lãhawo ene.
Yet he raiseth vp the poore out of miserie, and maketh him families like a flocke of sheepe.
