This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The agent of Jehovah encamps round about those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Miɖɔe kpɔ, ne miakpɔe be Yehowa ƒe dɔ me nyo; woayra ŋutsu si be ɖe eya amea me.
O taste and see that Jehovah is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

O fear Jehovah, ye his sanctified, for there is no want to those who fear him.

Come, ye children, hearken to me. I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
12 Mia dometɔ siwo lɔ̃ agbe, eye miedi be miakpɔ ŋkekenyui geɖewo la,
What man is he who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 mikpɔ miaƒe aɖewo dzi nyuie tso vɔ̃ ŋuti, eye miaƒe nuyiwo tso aʋatsokaka ŋuti.
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
14 Mite ɖa le vɔ̃ gbɔ, eye miawɔ nu nyui, midi ŋutifafa, eye miati eyome.
Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu, eye eƒe towo le woƒe ɣlidodo ŋu;
The eyes of Jehovah are toward the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.
16 ke Yehowa klẽa ŋku ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo be wòaɖe wo ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi akpɔ o.
(The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.)
17 Ame dzɔdzɔewo do ɣli, Yehowa see, eye wòɖe wo le woƒe xaxawo katã me.
They cried, and Jehovah heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 Yehowa tsɔ ɖe ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã gudugudu la gbɔ, eye wòɖea ame siwo ƒe gbɔgbɔ wogbã ƒu anyi.
Jehovah is near to those who are of a broken heart, and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Jehovah delivers him out of them all.
