Psalmowo 9
1 David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “ŋutsuvi la ƒe ku” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Makafu wò, O! Yehowa, kple nye dzi blibo, maɖe wò nukunuwɔwɔwo katã afia.
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DEATH OF THE SON.” A PSALM OF DAVID. I confess, O YHWH, with all my heart, I recount all Your wonders,
2 Dzi adzɔm, eye matso aseye le mewò; O Dziƒoʋĩtɔ, madzi kafukafuhawo na wò ŋkɔ.
I rejoice and exult in You, I praise Your Name, O Most High.
3 Nye futɔwo trɔ megbe; wokli nu, eye wo katã wotsrɔ̃ le ŋkuwò me.
In my enemies turning backward, They stumble and perish from Your face.
4 Elabena wòe xɔ nye nya, eye nèɖe nye dzɔdzɔenyenye ɖe go. Ènɔ wò fiazikpui dzi, eye nèdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe.
For You have done my judgment and my right. You have sat on a throne, Judging [with] righteousness.
5 Èka mo na dukɔwo, eye nètsrɔ̃ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo hetutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa tso mavɔ me yi ɖe mavɔ me.
You have rebuked nations, You have destroyed the wicked, You have blotted out their name for all time and forever.
6 Tsɔtsrɔ̃ mavɔ va futɔ la dzi, elabena èho woƒe duwo, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi gɔ̃ hã akpɔ gbeɖe o.
The enemy—[your] destructions have been completed forever, As for cities you have plucked up, Their memorial has perished with them.
7 Yehowa aɖu fia tegbetegbe; eɖo eƒe fiazikpui anyi hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃.
And YHWH abides for all time, He is preparing His throne for judgment.
8 Adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu xexea me le dzɔdzɔenyenye me; akplɔ dukɔwo katã le nuteƒewɔwɔ me.
And He judges the world in righteousness, He judges the peoples in uprightness.
9 Yehowa nye sitsoƒe na ame siwo wote ɖe anyi kple mɔ sesẽ le xaxaɣiwo.
And YHWH is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
10 Ame siwo nya wò ŋkɔ la aɖo dzi ɖe ŋuwò, elabena wò Yehowa, megble ame siwo dia wò la ɖi kpɔ o.
They trust in You who know Your Name, For You have not forsaken those seeking You, O YHWH.
11 Midzi kafukafuhawo na Yehowa, ame si nɔ fiazikpui dzi gli le Zion, miɖe gbeƒã nu siwo wòwɔ la le dukɔwo dome.
Sing praise to YHWH, inhabiting Zion, Declare His acts among the peoples,
12 Elabena eya, ame si biaa hlɔ̃ hlɔ̃dolawo la, ɖoa ŋku edzi, medoa toku hiãtɔwo ƒe ɣlidodo o.
For He who is seeking for blood Has remembered them, He has not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 O Yehowa, kpɔ ale si nye futɔwo le yonyeme tim ɖa! Kpɔ nye nublanui, eye nàkɔm tso ku ƒe agbowo me,
Favor me, O YHWH, See my affliction by those hating me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 be maɖe wò kafukafu afia le Zion Vinyɔnu ƒe agbowo me, eye le afi ma matso aseye le ɖeɖe si nènam la ta.
So that I recount all Your praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Your salvation.
15 Dukɔwo ge dze do si woawo ŋutɔ woɖe la me; woƒe afɔwo ɖo ɖɔ si woawo ŋutɔ woɖo ɖi le bebeme la me.
Nations have sunk in a pit they made, Their foot has been captured in a net that they hid.
16 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia to eƒe ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe dɔdrɔ̃ me; ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo atsɔ wo ade mɔ me. Ŋugbledede. (Sela)
YHWH has been known, He has done judgment; By a work of his hands The wicked has been snared. (Meditation, Selah)
The wicked turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ke womaŋlɔ hiãtɔ be ɖikaa alo ame si le fu kpem la, mɔkpɔkpɔ nabu ɖee o.
For the needy is not forgotten forever, [Nor] the hope of the humble lost for all time.
19 Tso, O Yehowa! Mègana amegbetɔ naɖu dzi o, na woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dukɔwo le ŋkuwò me.
Rise, O YHWH, do not let man be strong, Let nations be judged before Your face.
20 O! Yehowa, ƒo wo ƒu anyi kple ŋɔdzi; na dukɔwo nanya be amegbetɔwo yewonye. (Sela)
Appoint them to fear, O YHWH, Let nations know they [are] men! (Selah)
