Psalmowo 123

1 Mɔzɔha. Mewu mo dzi na wò, wò ame si ƒe fiazikpui le dziƒo.

Unto you lift I up mine eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.

2 Abe ale si kluviwo kpɔa woƒe aƒetɔ ƒe asinu kple kosiviwo ƒe ŋku nɔa woƒe aƒenɔ ƒe asinu kpɔmii ene la, nenemae míele Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe asinu kpɔmii, va se ɖe esime wòakpɔ nublanui na mí.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

3 O! Yehowa, kpɔ nublanui na mí, O! Kpɔ míaƒe nublanui, elabena míenɔ te ɖe vlododo nu eteƒe didi.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Míetsɔ dadalawo ƒe alɔmeɖeɖe gbogboawo, eye míenɔ te ɖe ɖokuiŋudzelawo ƒe vlodoame gbogboawo nu eteƒe didi.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
