A Psalm of David. Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2 O! Nye Mawu, ŋuwòe meɖo dzi ɖo. Mègana ŋu nakpem, alo nàɖe mɔ nye futɔwo naɖu dzinye o.
O my God, in Thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò la, ŋu makpee akpɔ gbeɖe o; gake ŋu akpe ame siwo nye vivimenuwɔlawo.
Yea, none that wait for Thee shall be ashamed; they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

Show me Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths.

6 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku wò lɔlɔ̃ kple wò nublanuikpɔkpɔ sɔgbɔ la dzi, elabena woli tso blema ke.
Remember, O LORD, Thy compassions and Thy mercies; for they have been from of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8 Yehowa nyo, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe, eya ta efiaa eƒe mɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way.

For Thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.
12 Ekema ame kawoe nye ŋutsu ma siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa? Afia nu wo le mɔ si woato la dzi.
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose.

His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋunye ne nàve nunye, elabena metsi akogo, eye hiã tum.
Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted.
17 Nye dzi ƒe nuxaxawo do gã ɖe edzi, na vovom tso nye vevesesewo me.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee.
