Praise the Lord, for it's good to sing praises to our God! Praise is wonderful and beautiful!
2 Yehowa gbugbɔ tso Yerusalem du la, eye wòkplɔ Israel ƒe aboyomewo gbɔe.
The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem, gathering together the people of Israel who have been scattered.
3 Eda gbe le ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã la ŋu, eye wòbla woƒe abiwo na wo.
He heals the broken-hearted, and bandages the wounded.
4 Eyae ɖo xexlẽme na ɣletiviwo, eye wòyɔa ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋkɔ.
He knows how many stars he made, and commands all of them by name.
5 Gãe nye míaƒe Aƒetɔ la, eye eƒe ŋusẽ tri akɔ ŋutɔ, seɖoƒe meli na eƒe gɔmesese o.
Our Lord is great! His power is immense! There's no limit to what he understands!
6 Yehowa kpɔa ame siwo bɔbɔa wo ɖokui la dzi, ke etsɔ ame vɔ̃ɖi ya xlã ɖe anyigba.
The Lord helps those who are bowed down to get up; but he grinds the wicked into the ground.
7 Midzi ha na Yehowa kple akpedada, eye miƒo ha na míaƒe Mawu la kple kasaŋku.
Sing thanks to the Lord! Sing praises to our God with a harp!
8 Etsɔa lilikpo xea yamee, eye wònana tsi dzana ɖe anyigba la dzi hewɔnɛ be gbe miena ɖe togbɛwo dzi.
He covers the sky with clouds to bring rain to the earth, and makes the grass grow on the hills.
9 Enaa nuɖuɖu nyiwo kple akpaviã siwo le xɔxlɔ̃m nɛ.
He gives food to the animals, and to the baby ravens when they call.
10 Eƒe dzidzɔ mele sɔ ƒe ŋusẽ me loo, alo amegbetɔ ƒe afɔ me o;
The Lord doesn't appreciate the strength of war-horses or value human power.
11 ke boŋ Yehowa ƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ le ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la me, ame siwo tsɔa woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ dana ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la dzi.
What the Lord values are those who follow him, those who put their confidence in his trustworthy love.
12 O! Yerusalem, do Yehowa ɖe dzi, O! Zion, kafu wò Mawu la,
Jerusalem, praise the Lord! Zion, praise your God!
13 elabena eyae glã wò agbowo ƒe gametiwo, eye wòyra ame siwo le mewò.
He makes the bars on your city gates strong, and blesses your children around you.
14 Ena ŋutifafa le wò liƒowo dzi, eye wòtsɔ mɔlu nyuitɔ ɖi ƒo na wòe.
He keeps the borders of your land safe from attack; he provides you with plenty of the finest wheat.
15 Eɖo eƒe sedede ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye eƒe nya kaka kple du ɖo teƒewo.
He sends his commands around the world—they're quickly implemented.
16 Ekaka tsikpe abe ɖetifu ene, eye wòkaka afu abe dzofi ene.
He sends snow as white as wool, and scatters frost like ashes.
17 Eɖo kpetsi ɖe anyigba abe kpekui ene. Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wò ya fafɛ la nu?
He throws hail like stones. Who can stand the cold he sends?
18 Edɔ eƒe nya ɖa, eye wòlolo wo. Ede ŋusẽ eƒe yawo me, eye tsiwo de asi sisi me.
Then he sends out his command and it melts; he blows on it and the water flows.
19 Eɖe eƒe nya fia Yakob eye wòɖe eƒe sewo kple sededewo fia Israel.
He proclaims his word to Jacob; his rules and laws to Israel.
20 Mewɔ esia na dukɔ bubu aɖeke o, eye womenya eƒe sewo o. Mikafu Yehowa.
He has not done this for any other nation—they don't know his laws. Praise the Lord!
