Psalmowo 13

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. O! Yehowa, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi? Ɖe nàŋlɔm be ɖikaɖika? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nàɣla wò ŋkume ɖem?

How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me?

2 Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi mawɔ avu kple nye tamesusu, eye gbe sia gbe nuxaxa nayɔ nye dzi me? Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi nye futɔwo aɖu dzinye?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

3 Kpɔm ɖa, eye nàɖo nya ŋu nam, O! Yehowa, nye Mawu. Na kekeli naklẽ ɖe nye ŋkuwo dzi, ne menye nenema o la, madɔ alɔ̃ ayi ku me.

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 Ekema nye futɔwo agblɔ be, “Meɖu edzi,” eye nye ketɔwo akpɔ dzidzɔ ne medze anyi.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 Ke nye ya meɖo dzi ɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu, nye dzi le aseye tsom le wò xɔname ŋuti.

But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

6 Madzi ha na Yehowa, elabena ewɔ nyui nam.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.
