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 the LORD, 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.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor 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.
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.
The LORD 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.
The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.
