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?

To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Until when? O Yahweh will you forget me perpetuity until when? - will you hide face your 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?

Until when? will I set counsel in soul my sorrow in heart my by day until when? - will he be exalted enemy my 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.

Pay attention! answer me O Yahweh God my give light to! eyes my lest I should sleep the death.

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

Lest he should say enemy my I have prevailed over him opponents my they will rejoice if I am shaken.

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

And I - in covenant loyalty your I have trusted may it rejoice heart my in deliverance your

6 Madzi ha na Yehowa, elabena ewɔ nyui nam.

I will sing to Yahweh for he has dealt bountifully towards me.
