Psalmowo 86
1 David ƒe gbedodoɖa. Ɖo tom, O Yehowa, eye nàtɔ nam, elabena meda ahe, eye hiã tum.
Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Kpɔ nye agbe ta, elabena metsɔ ɖokuinye na wò. Wòe nye nye Mawu, eya ta ɖe wò dɔla si ɖo dzi ɖe ŋuwò.
Preserve my soul, for I am devout. O thou my God, save thy servant who trusts in thee.
3 O! Aƒetɔ, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena mele yɔwòm ŋkeke blibo la.
Be merciful to me, O Lord, for to thee do I cry all the day long.
4 O! Aƒetɔ, tsɔ dzidzɔ vɛ na wò dɔla, elabena wòe medo nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 O! Aƒetɔ, ènyo, eye nètsɔna kena, lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò na ame siwo katã yɔa wò.
For thou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in loving kindness to all those who call upon thee.
6 O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàlé to ɖe nye nublanuiɣli ŋu.
Give ear, O Jehovah, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.
7 Le nye xaxagbe, mayɔ wò elabena àtɔ nam.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou will answer me.
8 O! Aƒetɔ aɖeke megale mawuawo dome abe wò ene o; nuwɔna aɖeke mesɔ kple tɔwò o.
There is none like thee among the gods, O Lord, nor like thy works.
9 O! Aƒetɔ, dukɔ siwo katã nèwɔ la ava asubɔ le ŋkuwò me, eye woatsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ana wò ŋkɔ.
All nations whom thou have made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name.
10 Elabena èlolo, eye nèwɔ nu dzɔatsuwo; wò koe nye Mawu.
For thou are great, and do wondrous things. Thou alone are God.
11 O! Yehowa, fia wò mɔm, eye mazɔ le wò nyateƒe la me; tsɔ dzi si to mɔ ɖeka la nam, ale be mavɔ̃ wò ŋkɔ.
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah, I will walk in thy truth. Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Makafu wò, O Aƒetɔ, nye Mawu, kple nye dzi blibo. Mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi tegbee,
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy loving kindness toward me, and thou have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 O! Mawu, dadalawo tso ɖe ŋunye, ŋutasẽlawo ƒe ha ti nye agbe yome, eye wonye ŋutsu siwo mebu wò ɖe naneke me o.
O God, the proud have risen up against me, and a company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
15 O! Aƒetɔ, ke wò la, Mawu si kpɔa nublanui, eye wòvea ame nu lae nènye, mèdoa dɔmedzoe kabakaba o, lɔlɔ̃ bɔ ɖe asiwò, eye nèwɔa nuteƒe.
But thou, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam; na wò ŋusẽ wò dɔla, eye nàɖe viwò ŋutsu nuteƒewɔla.
O turn to me, and have mercy upon me. Give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Ɖe wò nyuiwɔwɔ ƒe dzesi fiam, be nye futɔwo nakpɔe, eye ŋu nakpe wo, elabena o Yehowa, wòe kpe ɖe ŋunye, eye nèfa akɔ nam.
Show me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because thou, Jehovah, have helped me, and comforted me.
