Psalmowo 86
1 David ƒe gbedodoɖa. Ɖo tom, O Yehowa, eye nàtɔ nam, elabena meda ahe, eye hiã tum.
“A prayer of David.” Incline thine ear, O LORD! and hear me, For I am poor and distressed!
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 life, for I am devoted to thee! Save, O thou my God! thy servant who trusteth in thee!
3 O! Aƒetɔ, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena mele yɔwòm ŋkeke blibo la.
Have pity upon me, O Lord! For to thee do I cry daily!
4 O! Aƒetɔ, tsɔ dzidzɔ vɛ na wò dɔla, elabena wòe medo nye luʋɔ ɖe dzi na.
Revive 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, art good, and ready to forgive; Yea, rich in mercy to all that call upon thee!
6 O! Yehowa, se nye gbedodoɖa, eye nàlé to ɖe nye nublanuiɣli ŋu.
Give ear, O LORD! to my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplication!
7 Le nye xaxagbe, mayɔ wò elabena àtɔ nam.
In the day of my trouble I call upon thee, For thou dost answer me!
8 O! Aƒetɔ aɖeke megale mawuawo dome abe wò ene o; nuwɔna aɖeke mesɔ kple tɔwò o.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord! And there are no works like thy works!
9 O! Aƒetɔ, dukɔ siwo katã nèwɔ la ava asubɔ le ŋkuwò me, eye woatsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe ana wò ŋkɔ.
All the nations which thou hast made must come and worship before thee, O Lord! And glorify thy name!
10 Elabena èlolo, eye nèwɔ nu dzɔatsuwo; wò koe nye Mawu.
For great art thou, and wondrous are thy works; Thou alone art 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, O LORD! thy way, That I may walk in thy truth; Unite all 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; I will give glory to thy name for ever!
For thy kindness to me hath been great; Thou hast delivered me from the depths of the underworld! (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 against me; Bands of cruel men seek my life, And set not thee before their eyes.
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! art a God full of compassion and kindness, Long-suffering, rich in mercy and truth!
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam; na wò ŋusẽ wò dɔla, eye nàɖe viwò ŋutsu nuteƒewɔla.
Look upon me, and have compassion 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 token for good, That my enemies may see it and be confounded; Because thou, O LORD! helpest and comfortest me!
