Psalmowo 28
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, nye Agakpe, wò yɔm mele, mègado tokum o. Elabena ne èzi ɖoɖoe la, manɔ abe ame siwo yi aʋlime la ene.
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2 Esi mekɔ nye asiwo dzi ɖo ɖe wò Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔƒe la gbɔ la, se nye ɣlidodo na nublanuikpɔkpɔ, ne meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam.
Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3 Mègakplɔm kpe ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋu o, ame siwo ƒoa nu kple aƒelikawo fafɛ, gake vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi le woƒe dzi me.
Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4 Ɖo eteƒe na wo le woƒe nuwɔnawo kple woƒe dɔwɔwɔ vɔ̃wo ta. Xe fe na wo ɖe nu si woƒe asiwo wɔ la nu, eye nàgbugbɔ tohehe si wodze na la ahe va wo dzii.
Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5 Esi womede bubu Yehowa ƒe nuwɔnawo kple eƒe asinudɔwo ŋuti o ta la, àgbã wo aƒu anyi, eye màgbugbɔ wo atu akpɔ gbeɖe o.
For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6 Woakafu Yehowa, elabena ese ɣli si dom mele le nublanuikpɔkpɔ biam.
Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7 Yehowae nye nye ŋusẽ kple akpoxɔnu; nye dzi ka ɖe eya amea dzi, eye wòɖem. Nye dzi ti kpo le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ta, eye mada akpe nɛ to hadzidzi me.
The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8 Yehowae nye eƒe dukɔ ƒe ŋusẽ; ɖeɖe ƒe mɔ sesẽ wònye na eƒe amesiamina.
The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9 Ɖe wò dukɔ, eye nàyra wò domenyinu; nànye woƒe kplɔla, eye nàkɔ wo ɖe akɔnu tegbetegbe.
Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
