Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
2 Mikafu Yehowa kple kasaŋkuwo, eye miƒo ha nɛ le ka ewo ƒe kasaŋku dzi.
Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
3 Midzi ha yeye nɛ; miƒo ha nɛ kple ŋusẽ, eye míado dzidzɔɣli.
Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
4 Elabena Yehowa ƒe nya nye nyateƒe, eye wòto mɔ ɖeka; etoa nyateƒe le nu siwo katã wòwɔna la me.
For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
5 Yehowa lɔ̃a dzɔdzɔenyenye kple nuteƒewɔwɔ; anyigba yɔ fũu kple eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o.
He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
6 Yehowa ƒe nya wotsɔ wɔ dziƒowoe, eye eƒe numegbɔgbɔ wotsɔ wɔ wo ŋuti nuwoe.
By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Eƒo atsiaƒumetsiwo nu ƒu ɖe kpluwo me, eye wòdzra tɔ goglowo ɖo ɖe nudzraɖoƒewo.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.
8 Anyigba katã nevɔ̃ Yehowa, eye xexemetɔwo katã nede bubu eŋu.
Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
9 Elabena eƒo nu, eye wòva dzɔ; eɖe gbe, eye wòli ke goŋgoŋgoŋ.
For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
10 Yehowa gblẽ dukɔwo ƒe adaŋudedewo me, eye wòtɔtɔ anyigbadzitɔwo ƒe ɖoɖowo.
The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
11 Ke Yehowa ya ƒe ɖoɖowo nɔa anyi maʋamaʋãe ɖikaa, eye eƒe dzimesusuwo li tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
12 Woayra dukɔ si ƒe Mawue nye Yehowa, ame siwo wòtia be woanyi yeƒe dome.
Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 Yehowa bi kɔ tso dziƒo ke, eye wòkpɔ amegbetɔviwo katã.
The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
14 Ele eƒe nɔƒe ke hekpɔ ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi,
From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
15 eya ame si wɔ ame sia ame ƒe dzi, eye wòléa ŋku ɖe nu sia nu si wowɔna la ŋu.
He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
16 Aʋakɔ gbogbo si le fia aɖe si la mate ŋu aɖee o, eye ŋusẽ triakɔ hã meɖea kalẽtɔ o.
The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
17 Ne eɖo ɖeɖe dzi la, sɔ maɖe ame si tsɔ eƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe edzi o, togbɔ be ŋusẽ triakɔ le esi hã la, mate ŋu aɖee o.
A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
18 Ke Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la ŋu, ame siwo tsɔa woƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ dana ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la dzi,
Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
19 be wòaɖe wo tso ku ƒe asi me, eye wòana woatsi agbe le dɔŋɔli.
To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
20 Míele lalam le mɔ kpɔm na Yehowa, eyae nye míaƒe xɔname kple akpoxɔnu.
Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
21 Míaƒe dziwo le dzidzɔ kpɔm le eya amea me, elabena mieka ɖe eƒe ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la dzi.
Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
22 O! Yehowa, na wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la, nanɔ mía dzi abe ale si míetsɔ míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ da ɖe dziwò ene.
Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
