Psalmowo 121

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

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!

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

My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.

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

May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!

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

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

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

Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:

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

By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.

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

Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.

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

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
