1 Hadzidzi. David ƒe ha. O! Mawu, nye dzi le te goŋgoŋgoŋ. Madzi ha, aƒo saŋku kple nye luʋɔ blibo.
Song of a Psalm by David. O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
2 Saŋku kple kasaŋku, minyɔ! Manyɔ fɔŋli.
Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.
3 O! Yehowa, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha le ŋuwò le anyigbadzitɔwo dome,
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.
4 elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ de blibo, hekɔ wu dziƒowo, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ lilikpowo.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
5 O! Mawu, woado wò ɖe dzi agbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, eye na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
6 Ɖe mí, eye nàkpe ɖe mía ŋu kple wò nuɖusibɔ, be ame siwo nèlɔ̃ vevie la nakpɔ ɖeɖe.
That thy beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
7 Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be, “Mama Sekem le dziɖuɖu me, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime.
I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
8 Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee; nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
9 Moab nye nye tsiletɔkpo, matsɔ nye atokota aƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye mado dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ŋu.”
Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
10 Ame ka akplɔm ayi du sesẽ la mee? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
11 O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe oa? Nu ka wɔ nègbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo o?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Kpe ɖe mía ŋu ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena èna amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele nemi hã me o.
Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
13 Ne Mawu le mía dzi la, míaɖu dzi, eye wòafanya míaƒe futɔwo ɖe eƒe afɔ te.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.
