Psalmowo 63

1 David ƒe ha. Ekpae esi wòle Yuda gbegbe. O! Mawu, wòe nye nye Mawu, mele diwòm vevie; tsikɔ le nye luʋɔ wum ɖe ŋuwò, nye ameti blibo la mele diwòm, le kuɖiɖinyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla, eye tsi aɖeke meli o la dzi.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

2 Mekpɔ wò le kɔkɔeƒe la, eye mekpɔ wò ŋusẽ kple wò ŋutikɔkɔe.

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

3 Esi wò lɔlɔ̃ nyo wu agbe ta la, nye nuyiwo ado wò ɖe dzi.

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

4 Makafu wò, zi ale si mele agbe, eye mado nye asiwo ɖe dzi le wò ŋkɔ me.

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

5 Nye luʋɔ aɖi ƒo abe nuɖuɖu nyuitɔ kekeakee wòɖu ene; hadzidzi anɔ nu nam, eye nye nu adzi kafukafuhawo na wò.

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

6 Le nye aba dzi, meɖoa ŋku dziwò, mebua ŋutiwò le nye ŋunɔɣi le zã me.

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

7 Esi nènye nye xɔnametɔ ta la, madzi ha le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.

For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8 Nye luʋɔ ku ɖe ŋuwò goŋgoŋgoŋ, eye wò ɖusibɔ lém ɖe te.

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 Woatsrɔ̃ ame siwo le nye agbe yome tim, woayi ɖe keke anyigba la ƒe tume ke.

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

10 Woatsɔ wo ade asi na yi, eye woazu nuɖuɖu na amegaxiwo.

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

11 Ke fia la akpɔ dzidzɔ le Mawu me; ame siwo katã kaa atam le Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ me la akafui, ke woamia nu na alakpatɔwo.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
