Psalmowo 54

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. David kpa ha sia esi Zifitɔwo yi Saul gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe David meva ɣla ɖe mía dome oa?” Ɖem, O! Mawu, ɖem kple wò ŋkɔ, tsɔ wò ŋusẽ tso afia nam.

God, by your power [MTY, DOU] save me [from my enemies], and show people that I have not done anything that is wrong!

2 O! Mawu, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàƒu to anyi ɖe nye numenyawo ŋu.

God, listen to my prayer; listen to what I say to you,

3 Amedzrowo tso ɖe ŋunye, ŋutasẽlawo ti nye agbe yome, ame siwo mebua Mawu ɖe naneke me o. (Sela)

because strangers are [trying to] attack me; proud men are wanting to kill me; men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.

4 Mawu nye nye xɔnametɔ vavã, Aƒetɔ lae nye ame si lém ɖe asi.

But God is the one who helps me; Yahweh defends/protects me [from my enemies].

5 Vɔ̃ negbugbɔ va ame siwo le ŋunye gblẽm la dzi, tsrɔ̃ wo le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ ta.

He will cause the evil things that they want to do to me to happen to them instead; because he faithfully [does what he promises], he will get rid of them.

6 Masa lɔlɔ̃nuvɔsa na wò, O! Yehowa, makafu wò ŋkɔ, elabena enyo.

Yahweh, I will gladly give an offering to you because I want to, and I will thank you [MTY], for you are good [to me];

7 Eɖem tso nye xaxawo katã me, eye nye ŋkuwo kpɔ ale si woɖu nye futɔwo dzii.

you have rescued me from all my troubles, and I have seen that you have defeated my enemies.
