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.

TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, 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,

I call to You from the end of the land, In the feebleness of my heart, You lead me into a rock higher than I.

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

For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)

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

For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.

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

You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.

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

So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!
