Psalmowo 24

1 David ƒe ha. Anyigba kple nu siwo katã yɔ edzi, xexea me kple emenɔlawo katã nye Yehowa tɔ.

“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

2 Elabena eɖoe anyi ɖe atsiaƒu dzi, eye wòɖo egɔme anyi ɖe tɔsisiwo dzi gli.

For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

3 Ame kae alia Yehowa ƒe togbɛ? Ame kae atsi tsitre ɖe eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?

4 Ame si ƒe asi me dza, eye eƒe dzi me le dzadzɛe, ame si metsɔ eƒe luʋɔ na legba o, eye mekaa aʋatso heta nu dzodzro o.

He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

5 Eya axɔ yayra tso Yehowa gbɔ, eye Mawu, eƒe Ɖela la, atso afia nɛ.

He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 O! Yakob ƒe Mawu, aleae dzidzime si dia wò, eye wòdia ŋkuwòme la le. (Sela)

This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

7 O! Mi agbowo, miʋu; mi blemaʋɔtruwo, miʋu, ne Ŋutikɔkɔefia la nage ɖe eme.

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

8 Ame kae nye Ŋutikɔkɔefia la? Yehowa ŋusẽtɔ kple kalẽtɔ lae, Yehowa si wɔa kalẽ le aʋagbedzi lae.

Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 O! Mi agbowo, miʋu; mi blemaʋɔtruwo, miʋu, ne Ŋutikɔkɔefia la nage ɖe eme.

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

10 Ame kae nye Ŋutikɔkɔefia sia? Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ lae nye Ŋutikɔkɔefia la. (Sela)

Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
