“For the leader of the music. A psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands!
2 Midzi eƒe ŋkɔ ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe ha; mikafu Mawu ƒe gãnyenye!
Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious!
3 Migblɔ na Mawu be, “Wò dɔwɔwɔwo dziŋɔ loo! Wò ŋusẽ tri akɔ ale gbegbe be, wò futɔwo de ta agu na wò.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee!
4 Anyigba la katã de ta agu na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò, wole kafukafuha dzim na wò ŋkɔ.” (Sela)
Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! (Pause)
5 Va, nàkpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ, ale si le amegbetɔwo ta wòwɔ ŋɔdzidɔ geɖewo!
Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men!
6 Etrɔ atsiaƒu wòzu anyigba ƒuƒui, wozɔ afɔ to tsi la titina; miva míatso aseye le eya amea me.
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him.
7 Ele fia ɖum kple eƒe ŋusẽ tegbee, eƒe ŋku le dukɔwo ta kpɔm, aglãdzela aɖeke megatso ɖe eŋuti o. (Sela)
By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! (Pause)
8 O! Mi dukɔwo, mikafu míaƒe Mawu la; mina eƒe kafukafu nade dzi woase.
O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard!
9 Eyae kpɔ míaƒe agbe ta, eye mena míaƒe afɔ ɖiɖi o.
It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble.
10 Elabena O Mawu, wòe do mí kpɔ, wòe lolõ mí abe klosalo ene.
Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11 Wòe de mí gaxɔ me, eye nèdo agba ɖe megbe na mí.
Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs;
12 Èna amewo zɔ míaƒe ta dzi, eye míeto dzo me kple tɔ me, gake èkplɔ mí va anyigba si dzi nuwo do agbogbo ɖo fũu.
Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance.
13 Mava wò gbedoxɔ me kple numevɔsa, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo na wò,
I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings! I will pay thee my vows, —
14 adzɔgbe siwo nye nuyi ɖe, eye nye nu ɖe gbeƒã wo, esi meɖo xaxa me.
The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble.
15 Matsɔ lã damiwo kple agbowo asa numevɔe na wò, hekpe ɖe nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ŋuti. (Sela)
Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he-goats, will I sacrifice to thee. (Pause)
16 Miva se, mí ame siwo katã vɔ̃a Mawu; mina magblɔ nu siwo wòwɔ nam la na mi.
Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me!
17 Metsɔ nye nu do ɣli nɛ, eƒe kafukafu le nye aɖe dzi.
I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue.
18 Ɖe mena nɔƒe nu vɔ̃ le nye dzi me la, ne Aƒetɔ la meɖo tom o,
If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me:
19 gake Mawu ɖo tom vavã, eye wòse nye gbe le gbedodoɖa me.
But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication.
20 Woakafu Mawu, ame si medo toku nye gbedodoɖa, alo te eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖa le gbɔnye o!
Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
