Lord, among all the gods [whom the heathen nations worship], there is no one like you; not one of them has done [the great things] that you have done.

Yahweh, teach me what you want me to do in order that I may conduct my life according to what you say, which is true. Cause/Teach me to revere you.
12 Makafu wò, O Aƒetɔ, nye Mawu, kple nye dzi blibo. Mado wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzi tegbee,
Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (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.
But God, proud men are [trying to] attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.
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 Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
16 Trɔ ɖe ŋutinye, eye nàkpɔ nublanui nam; na wò ŋusẽ wò dɔla, eye nàɖe viwò ŋutsu nuteƒewɔla.
Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you [faithfully] like my mother did.

Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
