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 Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 Mekpɔ wò le kɔkɔeƒe la, eye mekpɔ wò ŋusẽ kple wò ŋutikɔkɔe.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 Esi wò lɔlɔ̃ nyo wu agbe ta la, nye nuyiwo ado wò ɖe dzi.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Makafu wò, zi ale si mele agbe, eye mado nye asiwo ɖe dzi le wò ŋkɔ me.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 Nye luʋɔ aɖi ƒo abe nuɖuɖu nyuitɔ kekeakee wòɖu ene; hadzidzi anɔ nu nam, eye nye nu adzi kafukafuhawo na wò.
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 Le nye aba dzi, meɖoa ŋku dziwò, mebua ŋutiwò le nye ŋunɔɣi le zã me.
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 Esi nènye nye xɔnametɔ ta la, madzi ha le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 Nye luʋɔ ku ɖe ŋuwò goŋgoŋgoŋ, eye wò ɖusibɔ lém ɖe te.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 Woatsrɔ̃ ame siwo le nye agbe yome tim, woayi ɖe keke anyigba la ƒe tume ke.
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 Woatsɔ wo ade asi na yi, eye woazu nuɖuɖu na amegaxiwo.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be 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 shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
