I will sing of the loving kindness of Jehovah forever. With my mouth I will make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 Maɖe gbeƒã be wò lɔlɔ̃ li ke tegbee, eye nèɖo wò nuteƒewɔwɔ anyi ɖe dziƒo ŋutɔŋutɔ.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever. Thy faithfulness thou will establish in the very heavens.
3 Ègblɔ be, “Mebla nu kple nye ame tiatia, meka atam na David, nye dɔla be,
I have made a covenant with my chosen. I have sworn to David my servant:
4 ‘Maɖo wò ƒome anyi tegbee, eye mana wò fiazikpui nali ke na dzidzimewo katã.’” (Sela)
Thy seed I will establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)
5 O! Yehowa, dziƒowo le wò nukunuwo kafum, kple wò nuteƒewɔwɔ hã le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe hame.
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah, thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the sanctified.
6 Elabena ame kae le dziŋgɔli me si woatsɔ asɔ kple Yehowa? Le nu gbagbe siwo le dziƒo dome la, kae le abe Yehowa ene?
For who in the clouds can be compared to Jehovah? Who among the sons of the mighty is like Jehovah,
7 Le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe adaŋudeha me la ŋɔdzi le Mawu ŋu ŋutɔ, ŋɔdzi le eŋu wu ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe.
a God very awesome in the council of the holy ones, and to be feared above all those who are round about him?
8 O! Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Mawu, ame kae ɖi wò? O! Yehowa, wò la, ŋusẽtɔe nènye, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒo xlã wò.
O Jehovah God of hosts, who is a mighty one like thee, O Jehovah? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

Thou rule the pride of the sea. When the waves of it arise, thou still them.
10 Ègbã Rahab gudugudu abe ame siwo wowu la dometɔ ɖeka ene, eye nètsɔ wò abɔ sesẽ kaka wò futɔwo.
Thou have broken Rahab in pieces, as a wounded man. Thou have scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
11 Dziƒowo nye tɔwò, anyigba hã tɔwòe; wòe wɔ xexea me kple emenuwo katã.
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine, the world and the fullness of it; thou have founded them.
12 Wòe wɔ anyiehe kple dziehe; ne Tabɔr kple Hermon se wò ŋkɔ ko la, wodzia ha, tsoa aseye.
The north and the south, thou have created them. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
13 Wotsɔ ŋusẽ de wò abɔ me, eye wò asi sesẽ, wò nuɖusi de dzi.
Thou have a mighty arm. Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Woli wò fiazikpui anyi ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ dzi, eye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ le zɔzɔm le ŋgɔwò.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne. Loving kindness and truth go before thy face.

Blessed is the people who know the joyful sound. They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.

In thy name do they rejoice all the day, and in thy righteousness are they exalted.
17 Elabena wòe nye woƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ, eye to wò amenuveve me, nèkɔ míaƒe dzo ɖe dzi.
For thou are the glory of their strength, and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted.
18 Vavã, míaƒe akpoxɔnu nye Yehowa tɔ, miaƒe fia nye Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la.
For our shield belongs to Jehovah, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Ɣe aɖe ɣi la, èƒo nu na wò ame kɔkɔewo le ŋutega me be, “Metrɔ ŋusẽ kɔ ɖe kalẽtɔ aɖe dzi; medo ɖekakpui aɖe ɖe dzi le nye amewo dome.
Then thou spoke in a vision to thy sanctified, and said, I have laid help upon a mighty man. I have exalted a chosen man out of the people.
20 Meke ɖe David, nye dɔla ŋu, eye mesi ami nɛ kple nye ami kɔkɔe.
I have found David my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him,
21 Nye asi alée ɖe asi, le nyateƒe me, nye alɔ ado ŋusẽe.
with whom my hand shall be established. My arm also shall strengthen him.
22 Futɔ aɖeke mazi edzi wòadzɔ ga nɛ o, eye ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖeke matee ɖe to o.
The enemy shall not exact from him, nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

And I will beat down his adversaries before him, and smite those who hate him,
24 Nye lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la anɔ anyi kplii, eye woakɔ eƒe dzo ɖe dzi to nye ŋkɔ dzi.
but my faithfulness and my loving kindness shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 Makɔ eƒe asi dzi ɖe atsiaƒu dzi, eye eƒe nuɖusi ɖe tɔsisiwo dzi.
I will also set his hand on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
26 Ayɔm be, ‘Wòe nye Fofonye, nye Mawu, nye Agakpe kple Ɖela.’
He shall cry to me, Thou are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

I will keep my loving kindness for him for evermore. And my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 Maɖo eƒe ƒome anyi tegbee, eye zi ale si dziƒo li la, nenema ke eƒe fiazikpui hã anɔ anyii.
I will also make his seed to endure forever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 “Ne viawo gblẽ nye sewo ɖi, eye womewɔ nye ɖoɖowo dzi o,
If his sons forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances,
31 ne woda le nye sedede dzi, eye wogbe nye gbeɖeɖewo dzi wɔwɔ la,
if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments,
32 ekema matsɔ ati ahe to na woe ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta, eye matsɔ ƒoƒo ahe to na wo ɖe woƒe vodadawo ta,
then I will visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes,
33 gake nyemaxɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ le esi, alo ada le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ dzi o.
but my loving kindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
34 Nyemagbe nye nubabla la dzi wɔwɔ o, eye nyematrɔ nu si nye nu gblɔ la o.
I will not break my covenant, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Meta nye kɔkɔenyenye zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiwo katã be, nyemada alakpa na David o.
I have sworn once by my holiness; I will not lie to David.
36 Ke boŋ eƒe ƒome anɔ anyi tegbee, eye eƒe fiazikpui ali ke le nye ŋkume abe ɣe ene.
His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.

Thou have abhorred the covenant of thy servant. Thou have profaned his crown to the ground.
40 Ègbã eƒe gliwo, eye nèwɔ eƒe mɔ sesẽwo wozu aƒedo.
Thou have broken down all his hedges. Thou have brought his strongholds to ruin.
41 Ame siwo katã to afi ma la hae, eye wòzu alɔmeɖenu na eƒe aƒelikawo.
All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

Yea, thou turn back the edge of his sword, and have not made him to stand in the battle.

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou hide thyself forever? Shall thy wrath burn like fire?

O remember how short my time is, for what vanity thou have created all the sons of men!
What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 O! Aƒetɔ, afi ka wò lɔlɔ̃ gã tsãtɔ le, wò lɔlɔ̃ si nye atam nèka na David le wò nuteƒewɔwɔ me la le?
Lord, where are thy former loving kindnesses, which thou swore to David in thy faithfulness?

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants, how I bear in my bosom all the mighty peoples,

with which thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah, with which they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Woakafu Yehowa tegbetegbee!
Blessed be Jehovah for evermore. Truly, and Truly.
