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, 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 ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is 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 strong tower from the enemy.

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

Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

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

You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

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

He will remain before God forever.

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

I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
