Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
2 Nye luʋɔ aƒo adegbe le Yehowa me, ame siwo le veve sem la nesee ne woakpɔ dzidzɔ.
My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.
3 Mido kɔkɔ Yehowa kplim; mina míawɔ ɖeka ado eƒe ŋkɔ ɖe dzi.
Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.
4 Meyɔ Yehowa, eye wòtɔ nam heɖem tso nye vɔvɔ̃wo katã me.
I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
5 Ame siwo tsɔ woƒe ŋku da ɖe edzi la aklẽ, ŋukpe matsyɔ mo na wo o.
Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 Hiãtɔ sia yɔe, eye Yehowa ɖo toe, heɖee le eƒe xaxawo katã me.
This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.
7 Yehowa ƒe dɔlawo ƒua asaɖa anyi ƒoa xlã ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye wòɖea wo.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.
8 Miɖɔe kpɔ, ne miakpɔe be Yehowa ƒe dɔ me nyo; woayra ŋutsu si be ɖe eya amea me.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 Mivɔ̃ Yehowa, mi eƒe ame kɔkɔewo, elabena naneke mehiãa ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la o.
Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
10 Dɔ awu dzatawo, eye woagbɔdzɔ, gake ame siwo dia Yehowa ya la, kesinɔnu aɖeke mahiã wo o.
Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Mia dometɔ siwo lɔ̃ agbe, eye miedi be miakpɔ ŋkekenyui geɖewo la,
Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
13 mikpɔ miaƒe aɖewo dzi nyuie tso vɔ̃ ŋuti, eye miaƒe nuyiwo tso aʋatsokaka ŋuti.
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
14 Mite ɖa le vɔ̃ gbɔ, eye miawɔ nu nyui, midi ŋutifafa, eye miati eyome.
Turn away 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 the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.
16 ke Yehowa klẽa ŋku ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo be wòaɖe wo ɖa le anyigba dzi, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi akpɔ o.
But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
17 Ame dzɔdzɔewo do ɣli, Yehowa see, eye wòɖe wo le woƒe xaxawo katã me.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.
18 Yehowa tsɔ ɖe ame siwo ƒe dzi gbã gudugudu la gbɔ, eye wòɖea ame siwo ƒe gbɔgbɔ wogbã ƒu anyi.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
21 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e awu ame vɔ̃ɖi, eye woabu fɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe futɔwo.
Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned.
22 Yehowa ɖea eƒe dɔlawo, eye womabu fɔ ame siwo katã sinɛ tsona la o.
The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
