Psalmowo 61

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Se nye ɣlidodo, O Mawu, eye nàlé to ɖe nye gbedodoɖa ŋu.

Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

2 Meyɔ wò tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenu, meyɔ wò, esi nu te nye dzi ŋu belibelibeli; azɔ kplɔm yi ɖe agakpe si kɔ wum la dzi,

From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 elabena wòe nye nye sitsoƒe kple mɔ sesẽ, le futɔ la ta.

For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Medi vevie be manɔ wò agbadɔ me tegbee, eye mabe ɖe wò aʋala ƒe fafaƒe. (Sela)

I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 O! Mawu, èse nye adzɔgbeɖeɖewo, eye nètsɔ ame siwo vɔ̃a wò ŋkɔ la ƒe domenyinu nam.

For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

6 Dzi fia la ƒe agbemeŋkekewo ɖe edzi nɛ, eƒe ƒewo nasɔ gbɔ be wòakpɔ dzidzime geɖewo.

Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

7 Neɖu fia le Mawu ŋkume tegbee, eye na wò lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nakpɔ eta.

He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8 Ekema madzi kafukafuha na wò ŋkɔ tegbee, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo gbe sia gbe.

So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
