Psalmowo 56
1 David ƒe nufiameha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Ahɔnɛ si dzo ɖe logoti dzi le didiƒe ke” la ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Ekpa ha sia esi Filistitɔwo lée le Gat. Kpɔ nye nublanui, O! Mawu, elabena amegbetɔwo ti yonyeme kple ŋkubiã; ŋkeke blibo la wole yonyeme kutɔkutɔe.
Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
2 Ame siwo le ŋunye gblẽm la ti yonyeme ŋkeke blibo la, eye wo dometɔ geɖewo tso ɖe ŋunye kple dada.
My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
3 Maka ɖe dziwò ne vɔvɔ̃ ɖom.
From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
4 Wò Mawu si ƒe nya mekafu, Mawu si dzi meka ɖo; nyemavɔ̃ akpɔ o. Nu ka amegbetɔ, ŋutilã kple ʋu, awɔm ma?
In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
5 Ŋkeke blibo la wotrɔa gbo nye nyawo, ɣe sia ɣi wole nugbe ɖom be woawɔ nuvevim.
All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
6 Woɖo babla, wole ŋu tsam, hele ŋku lém ɖe nye afɔɖeɖewo ŋu, eye wotsi dzi ɖe nye agbetsɔtsrɔ̃ ŋuti.
They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
7 Ɖe woƒe vɔ̃ɖinyenye ta la, megana mɔ woasi o; O! Mawu, he dukɔwo ƒu anyi le wò dɔmedzoe me.
For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,
8 Ŋlɔ nye konyifafa da ɖi; lé nye aɖatsiwo ɖe agbalẽ dzi; ɖe womele wò nyaŋlɔɖiwo me xoxo oa?
I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.
9 Ekema nye futɔwo atrɔ adzo, ne meyɔ wò be nàxɔ nam. To esia me la, manya be Mawu nye tɔnye.
Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
10 Mawu, ame si ƒe nya mekafu, Yehowa ame si ƒe nya mekafu.
In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.
11 Mawu, ame si dzi meka ɖo; nyemavɔ̃ o. Nu ka amegbetɔ ate ŋu awɔm?
In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 O! Mawu, meɖe adzɔgbe na wò, eya ta maxe adzɔgbeɖefe na wò.
In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
13 Elabena èɖem tso ku me, eye nèna be nye afɔwo hã magaɖiɖi o, ne mate ŋu azɔ le Mawu ŋkume le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi.
Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
