Psalmowo 4
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Nye Mawu dzɔdzɔetɔ, tɔ nam ne meyɔ wò. Na gbɔdzɔem le nye xaxa me; kpɔ nye nublanui, eye nàse nye gbedodoɖa.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O! Amegbetɔviwo, va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie miaɖi gbɔ̃ nye ŋutikɔkɔe? Va se ɣe ka ɣie mialɔ̃ beble, ahadze aʋatsomawuwo yome? (Sela)
O all of you sons of men, how long will all of you turn my glory into shame? how long will all of you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 Minyae be Yehowa tia mawuvɔ̃lawo na eɖokui, eya ta Yehowa asee, ne meyɔe.
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 Migawɔ nu vɔ̃ ne dzi ku mi o; ne miele miaƒe abawo dzi la, midzro miaƒe dziwo me, eye mizi ɖoɖoe. (Sela)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Misa vɔ siwo le dzɔdzɔe, eye miɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Ame geɖewo le biabiam be, “Ame kae afia nu nyui aɖe mí?” Na wò mo ƒe kekeli naklẽ ɖe mía dzi, O! Yehowa.
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance upon us.
7 Ètsɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe yɔ nye dzi me wu ame siwo bli kple wain yeye do agbogbo na.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 Mamlɔ anyi, adɔ alɔ̃ le ŋutifafa me, elabena wò, Yehowa, koe na mele dedie.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
