1 David ƒe ha. Ekpa ha sia esime wòdo aɖaʋatɔ eɖokui le Abimelek ŋkume, eye wònyae wòdzo. Mado Yehowa ɖe dzi ɣe sia ɣi; eye eƒe kafukafu anɔ nye nu me ɖaa.
A Psalme of Dauid, when he changed his behauiour before Abimelech, who droue him away, and he departed. I will alway giue thankes vnto the Lord: his praise shalbe in my mouth continually.
2 Nye luʋɔ aƒo adegbe le Yehowa me, ame siwo le veve sem la nesee ne woakpɔ dzidzɔ.
My soule shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall heare it, and be glad.
3 Mido kɔkɔ Yehowa kplim; mina míawɔ ɖeka ado eƒe ŋkɔ ɖe dzi.
Praise ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnifie his Name together.
4 Meyɔ Yehowa, eye wòtɔ nam heɖem tso nye vɔvɔ̃wo katã me.
I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.
5 Ame siwo tsɔ woƒe ŋku da ɖe edzi la aklẽ, ŋukpe matsyɔ mo na wo o.
They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
6 Hiãtɔ sia yɔe, eye Yehowa ɖo toe, heɖee le eƒe xaxawo katã me.
This poore man cryed, and the Lord heard him, and saued him out of all his troubles.
7 Yehowa ƒe dɔlawo ƒua asaɖa anyi ƒoa xlã ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ, eye wòɖea wo.
The Angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.
8 Miɖɔe kpɔ, ne miakpɔe be Yehowa ƒe dɔ me nyo; woayra ŋutsu si be ɖe eya amea me.
Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 Mivɔ̃ Yehowa, mi eƒe ame kɔkɔewo, elabena naneke mehiãa ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la o.
Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.
10 Dɔ awu dzatawo, eye woagbɔdzɔ, gake ame siwo dia Yehowa ya la, kesinɔnu aɖeke mahiã wo o.
The lyons doe lacke and suffer hunger, but they, which seeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
11 Miva, vinyewo, miɖo tom, ne mafia Yehowavɔvɔ̃ mi.
Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord.
12 Mia dometɔ siwo lɔ̃ agbe, eye miedi be miakpɔ ŋkekenyui geɖewo la,
What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good?
13 mikpɔ miaƒe aɖewo dzi nyuie tso vɔ̃ ŋuti, eye miaƒe nuyiwo tso aʋatsokaka ŋuti.
Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile.
14 Mite ɖa le vɔ̃ gbɔ, eye miawɔ nu nyui, midi ŋutifafa, eye miati eyome.
Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and follow after it.
15 Yehowa ƒe ŋku le ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu, eye eƒe towo le woƒe ɣlidodo ŋu;
The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.
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 them that doe euill, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
17 Ame dzɔdzɔewo do ɣli, Yehowa see, eye wòɖe wo le woƒe xaxawo katã me.
The righteous crie, and the Lord heareth them, and deliuereth 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.
The Lord is neere vnto them that are of a contrite heart, and will saue such as be afflicted in Spirite.

Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all.
20 ekpɔa eƒe ƒuwo katã ta, eye womaŋe wo dometɔ aɖeke o.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e awu ame vɔ̃ɖi, eye woabu fɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe futɔwo.
But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
22 Yehowa ɖea eƒe dɔlawo, eye womabu fɔ ame siwo katã sinɛ tsona la o.
The Lord redeemeth the soules of his seruants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
