Psalmowo 121

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

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

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

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

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

Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

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

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

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

The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

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

May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

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

The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
