Psalmowo 24

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

“A psalm of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall 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 hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor 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 race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

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

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
