1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha. Yehowa lolo, eye eya koe dze kafukafu le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe du me, le eƒe to kɔkɔe la dzi.
A Psalm of praise for the sons of Core on the second [day] of the week. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Zion to la kɔkɔ henya kpɔ ale gbegbe, eye wònye dzudzɔdonu na anyigba blibo la. Fia gã la ƒe du, si le abe Zafon to kɔkɔe la ene.
The city of the great King is well planted [on] the mountains of Sion, with the joy of the whole earth, [on] the sides of the north.
3 Mawu le eƒe fiasãwo me, eye wòɖe eɖokui fia abe eƒe mɔ sesẽ ene.
God is known in her palaces, when he undertakes to help her.
4 Fiawo ƒo woƒe aʋakɔwo nu ƒu, hezɔ ɖe edzi ɖekae,
For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.
5 ke esi wokpɔe la, woƒe nu ku, ŋɔdzi lé wo eye wosi dzo.
They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.
6 Dzidzi ƒo wo, eye wose veve abe nyɔnu si le ku lém la ene.
Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
7 Egbã wo gudugudu abe ale si ɣedzeƒeya gbã Tarsis tɔdziʋuwo ene.
You will break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.
8 Abe ale si míese ene la, nenemae míekpɔe le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe du mee. Mawu na wòanɔ dedie tegbetegbe. (Sela)
As we have heard, so have we also seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God has founded it for ever. (Pause)
9 O! Mawu, míedea ŋugble le wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la ŋu le wò gbedoxɔ me.
We have thought of your mercy, O God, in the midst of your people.
10 O! Mawu, wò kafukafu de keke anyigba la ƒe mlɔenu ke abe wò ŋkɔ ene. Wò nuɖusi ɖua fia le dzɔdzɔenyenye me.
According to your name, O God, so is also your praise to the ends of the earth: your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Zion to kpɔ dzidzɔ, eye Yuda ƒe kɔƒewo le aseye tsom le wò afiatsotso ta.
Let mount Sion rejoice, let the daughters of Judaea exult, because of your judgements, O Lord.
12 Mizɔ Zion to la ŋu godoo, mizɔ ƒo xlãe, eye mixlẽ eƒe xɔ tsralawo,
Go round about Sion, and encompass her: tell you her towers.
13 ne miakpɔ kpo si woƒo ɖe eƒe gliwo ŋu. Mikpɔ eƒe fiasãwo nyuie ne míatsɔe atu xoe na dzidzime si gbɔna,
Mark you well her strength, and observe her palaces; that you may tell the next generation.
14 elabena Mawu siae nye míaƒe Mawu tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me; eyae anye mía kplɔla yi ɖase ɖe nuwuwu.
For this is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide for evermore.
