Psalmowo 3
1 David ƒe ha, esi wòsi le via Absalom nu. O, Yehowa, aleke nye futɔwo sɔ gbɔ ale! Aleke ame geɖewo tso ɖe ŋunye ale!
Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Ame geɖewo le gbɔgblɔm tso ŋutinye be, “Mawu maɖee akpɔ o.” (Sela)
Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 O, Yehowa, ke wò la, ènye akpoxɔnu ƒo xlãm; ètsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe kɔ ɖe dzinye, eye nèkɔ nye ta dzi.
But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
4 Yehowae medo ɣli na sesĩe, eye wòtɔ nam tso eƒe to kɔkɔe la dzi. (Sela)
I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Memlɔ anyi hedɔ alɔ̃; meganyɔ, elabena Yehowae kpɔ tanye.
I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
6 Nyemavɔ̃ na ame akpe nane siwo ho, ɖe to ɖem godoo la o.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
7 Tso, O, Yehowa! Ɖem, O, nye Mawu! Ƒo tome na nye futɔwo katã; eye nàŋe aɖu na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo.
Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Yehowa gbɔe ɖeɖe tsona. Na be wò yayra nanɔ wò amewo dzi. (Sela)
Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
