< 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.
For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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 will I call unto 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 hast 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 for ever: 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, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.
6 Dzi fia la ƒe agbemeŋkekewo ɖe edzi nɛ, eƒe ƒewo nasɔ gbɔ be wòakpɔ dzidzime geɖewo.
Thou wilt 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 for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8 Ekema madzi kafukafuha na wò ŋkɔ tegbee, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo gbe sia gbe.
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
