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 mountains. O whence shall help for me come?

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

From the Lord comes help to me the creator of heaven and earth.

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

Your foot he will not let totter: he who guards you will not sleep.

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

The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The Lord is he who guards you your shelter upon your right hand.

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

The sun by day shall not strike you, nor the moon by night.

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

From all evil the Lord will guard you, he will guard your life.

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

The Lord will guard your going and coming from now and for evermore.
