Psalmowo 121

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

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

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

My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

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

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

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

Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.

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

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

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

YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

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

YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
