1 Hadzidzi. David ƒe ha. O! Mawu, nye dzi le te goŋgoŋgoŋ. Madzi ha, aƒo saŋku kple nye luʋɔ blibo.
“A psalm of David.” O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing and give thanks.
2 Saŋku kple kasaŋku, minyɔ! Manyɔ fɔŋli.
Awake, my soul! awake, my psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
3 O! Yehowa, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha le ŋuwò le anyigbadzitɔwo dome,
I will praise thee, O LORD! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the peoples!
4 elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ de blibo, hekɔ wu dziƒowo, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ lilikpowo.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth above the clouds.
5 O! Mawu, woado wò ɖe dzi agbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, eye na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naxɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
Exalt thyself, 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 answer me!
7 Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la be, “Mama Sekem le dziɖuɖu me, eye madzidze Sukɔt Balime.
God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth;
8 Gilead nye tɔnye, Manase hã tɔnyee; nye gakukue nye Efraim, eye Yuda nye nye fiatikplɔ.
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre.
9 Moab nye nye tsiletɔkpo, matsɔ nye atokota aƒu gbe ɖe Edom dzi, eye mado dziɖuɖuɣli ɖe Filistia ŋu.”
Moab shall be my washbowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia.
10 Ame ka akplɔm ayi du sesẽ la mee? Ame ka akplɔm ayi Edom?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
11 O! Mawu, ɖe menye wòe oa? Nu ka wɔ nègbe mí, eye mègadona kple míaƒe aʋakɔwo o?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, Who didst not go forth with our armies?
12 Kpe ɖe mía ŋu ɖe míaƒe futɔwo ŋuti, elabena èna amegbetɔ ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu mele nemi hã me o.
Give us thine aid in our distress, 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; For he will tread down our enemies.
