Psalmowo 70

1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Kukuɖeɖe. O! Mawu, netsɔ nàɖem; O! Yehowa, va kaba nàxɔ nam.

For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

2 Ŋukpe kple tɔtɔ neva ame siwo le nye agbe yome tim la dzi. Ame siwo le nye gbegblẽ dim la negbugbɔ ɖe megbe kple ŋukpe.

Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

3 Na be ame siwo le gbɔgblɔm be, “Ɛhɛ̃! Ɛhɛ̃!” la natrɔ megbe adzo kple ŋukpe.

May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

4 Ke ame siwo dia wò la netso aseye; woakpɔ dzidzɔ le mewò, eye ame siwo lɔ̃a wò xɔname la negblɔ ɖaa be, “Woado Mawu ɖe dzi ɖaa!”

But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

5 Ke nye la, O Mawu, meda ahe, eye hiã tum, eya ta va gbɔnye kaba. O! Yehowa, mègahe ɖe megbe o, elabena wòe nye nye xɔnametɔ kple nye Ɖela.

As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
