1 David ƒe mɔzɔha. Mekpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo gblɔ nam be, “Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.”

A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

2 O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

3 Wotso Yerusalem, eye nèle abe du si tsyia ɖe wo nɔewo nu ene.

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

4 Afi ma to vovovoawo yina, Yehowa ƒe toawo, be woakafu Yehowa, le ɖoɖo si wòna Israel nu.

where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

5 Afi ma woɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpuiwo ɖo, David ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpuiwo.

For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.

6 Mido gbe ɖa, abia ŋutifafa na Yerusalem be, “Ame siwo lɔ̃ wò la nenɔ dedie.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

7 Ŋutifafa nenɔ wò gliwo me kple dedinɔnɔ le wò fiasãwo me.”

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

8 Le nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ta, magblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa nenɔ mewò.”

For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 Le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ta, madi dzidzedze na wò.

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
