To you, Yahweh, I lift up my life!
2 O! Nye Mawu, ŋuwòe meɖo dzi ɖo. Mègana ŋu nakpem, alo nàɖe mɔ nye futɔwo naɖu dzinye o.
My God, I trust in you. Do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies rejoice triumphantly over me.
3 Ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò la, ŋu makpee akpɔ gbeɖe o; gake ŋu akpe ame siwo nye vivimenuwɔlawo.
May no one who hopes in you be disgraced may those who act treacherously without cause be ashamed!
4 O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔwo kple wò toƒewom,
Make known to me your ways, Yahweh; teach me your paths.

Guide me into your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I hope in you all day long.

Call to mind, Yahweh, your acts of compassion and of covenant faithfulness; for they have always existed.

Do not think about the sins of my youth or my rebelliousness; Call me to mind with covenant faithfulness because of your goodness, Yahweh!
8 Yehowa nyo, eye wòwɔa nu dzɔdzɔe, eya ta efiaa eƒe mɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo.
Yahweh is good and upright; therefore he teaches sinners the way.

He guides the humble in what is right and he teaches them his way.
10 Yehowa ƒe mɔwo katã nye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ na ame siwo léa eƒe nubablamenyawo ɖe asi.
All the paths of Yahweh are steadfast love and faithfulness to those who keep his covenant and his solemn commands.
11 O! Yehowa, togbɔ be nye dzidada sɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe hã la, tsɔ wo kem le wò ŋkɔ la ta.
For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my sin, for it is great.
12 Ekema ame kawoe nye ŋutsu ma siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa? Afia nu wo le mɔ si woato la dzi.
Who is the man who fears Yahweh? The Lord will instruct him in the way that he should choose.
13 Woakpɔ dzidzedze le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo me, eye woƒe dzidzimeviwo anyi anyigba la ƒe dome.
His life will go along in goodness; and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 Yehowa gblɔa nya ɣaɣlawo na ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye wòɖea eƒe nubabla fiaa wo.
The friendship of Yahweh is for those who honor him, and he makes his covenant known to them.

My eyes are always on Yahweh, for he will free my feet from the net.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋunye ne nàve nunye, elabena metsi akogo, eye hiã tum.
Turn toward me and have mercy on me; for I am alone and afflicted.
17 Nye dzi ƒe nuxaxawo do gã ɖe edzi, na vovom tso nye vevesesewo me.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; draw me out from my distress!

May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I hope in you.
22 O! Mawu, ɖe Israel tso woƒe xaxawo katã me.
Rescue Israel, God, from all of his troubles!
