'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
2 Israel negblɔ be; “Eƒe lɔlɔ̃ li ɖaa.”
So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,

Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.
6 Yehowa li kplim, eya ta nyemavɔ̃ o. Nu ka amegbetɔ awɔm?
The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
12 Woƒo kɔ ɖe ŋunye abe anyiwo ene, gake wo nu va yi kaba abe ŋuvedzo ene; ɛ̃, Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ mee metsrɔ̃ wo le.

The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17 Nyemaku o, ke boŋ manɔ agbe, eye maɖe gbeƒã nu siwo Yehowa wɔ.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
22 Kpe si xɔtulawo gbe la, eyae va zu dzogoedzikpe.
The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
23 Yehowae wɔ esia, eye wònye nukunu le míaƒe ŋkume.
This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24 Esia nye ŋkeke si Yehowa wɔ, mina míakpɔ dzidzɔ, atso aseye le eme.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
