Psalmowo 121

1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi ɖe togbɛawo ŋu, afi ka nye xɔname atso ava?

A Song of the going up. My eyes are lifted up to the hills: O where will my help come from?

2 Nye xɔname atso Yehowa, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba la gbɔ.

Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Mana wò afɔ naɖiɖi o, eya ame si dzɔa ŋuwò la madɔ akɔlɔ̃e o.

May he not let your foot be moved: no need of sleep has he who keeps you.

4 Vavã, eya ame si dzɔa Israel ŋu la, madɔ akɔlɔ̃e loo, alo adɔ alɔ̃ o.

See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep.

5 Yehowae nye tawòkpɔla, Yehowae nye wò vɔvɔli le wò nuɖusime

The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 eya ta ɣe maɖu wò le ŋkeke me loo, alo ɣleti le zã me o.

You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night.

7 Yehowa aɖe wò le vɔ̃wo katã me, eye wòakpɔ wò agbe ta.

The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.

8 Yehowa adzɔ wò vava kple wò dzodzo ŋuti, fifia yi ɖase mavɔmavɔ me.

The Lord will keep watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time and for ever.
