Maschil. Of Ethan the Ezrahite. My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations.
2 Maɖe gbeƒã be wò lɔlɔ̃ li ke tegbee, eye nèɖo wò nuteƒewɔwɔ anyi ɖe dziƒo ŋutɔŋutɔ.
For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.
3 Ègblɔ be, “Mebla nu kple nye ame tiatia, meka atam na David, nye dɔla be,
I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;
4 ‘Maɖo wò ƒome anyi tegbee, eye mana wò fiazikpui nali ke na dzidzimewo katã.’” (Sela)
I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah)
5 O! Yehowa, dziƒowo le wò nukunuwo kafum, kple wò nuteƒewɔwɔ hã le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe hame.
In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.
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 is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?
7 Le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe adaŋudeha me la ŋɔdzi le Mawu ŋu ŋutɔ, ŋɔdzi le eŋu wu ame siwo katã ƒo xlãe.
God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are 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 Lord God of armies, who is strong like you, O Jah? and your unchanging faith is round about you.
9 Wòe ɖu atsiaƒu ƒe agbodzedze dzi, ne ƒutsotsoewo le dzi dem la, ènana wodzea akɔ anyi.
You have rule over the sea in storm; when its waves are troubled, you make them calm.
10 Ègbã Rahab gudugudu abe ame siwo wowu la dometɔ ɖeka ene, eye nètsɔ wò abɔ sesẽ kaka wò futɔwo.
Rahab was crushed by you like one wounded to death; with your strong arm you put to flight all your haters.
11 Dziƒowo nye tɔwò, anyigba hã tɔwòe; wòe wɔ xexea me kple emenuwo katã.
Yours are the heavens, and the earth is yours; you have made the world, and everything which is in it.
12 Wòe wɔ anyiehe kple dziehe; ne Tabɔr kple Hermon se wò ŋkɔ ko la, wodzia ha, tsoa aseye.
You have made the north and the south; Tabor and Hermon are sounding with joy at your name.
13 Wotsɔ ŋusẽ de wò abɔ me, eye wò asi sesẽ, wò nuɖusi de dzi.
Yours is an arm of power; strong is your hand and high your right hand.
14 Woli wò fiazikpui anyi ɖe dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ dzi, eye lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ le zɔzɔm le ŋgɔwò.
The seat of your kingdom is resting on righteousness and right judging: mercy and good faith come before your face.
15 Woayra ame siwo srɔ̃ ale si woakafu wòe, eye wozɔna le wò mo ƒe kekeli me, O Yehowa.
Happy are the people who have knowledge of the holy cry: the light of your face, O Lord, will be shining on their way.
16 Wotsoa aseye le wò ŋkɔ me ŋkeke blibo la, eye wokpɔa dodoɖedzi le wò dzɔdzɔenyenye me.
In your name will they have joy all the day: in your righteousness will they be lifted up.
17 Elabena wòe nye woƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ, eye to wò amenuveve me, nèkɔ míaƒe dzo ɖe dzi.
For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.
18 Vavã, míaƒe akpoxɔnu nye Yehowa tɔ, miaƒe fia nye Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la.
For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.
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 your voice came to your holy one in a vision, saying, I have put the crown on a strong one, lifting up one taken from among the people.
20 Meke ɖe David, nye dɔla ŋu, eye mesi ami nɛ kple nye ami kɔkɔe.
I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.
21 Nye asi alée ɖe asi, le nyateƒe me, nye alɔ ado ŋusẽe.
My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.
22 Futɔ aɖeke mazi edzi wòadzɔ ga nɛ o, eye ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖeke matee ɖe to o.
The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.
23 Mafanya eƒe futɔwo le eŋgɔ, eye maƒo ame siwo tso ɖe eŋu la aƒu anyi.
I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.
24 Nye lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la anɔ anyi kplii, eye woakɔ eƒe dzo ɖe dzi to nye ŋkɔ dzi.
But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.
25 Makɔ eƒe asi dzi ɖe atsiaƒu dzi, eye eƒe nuɖusi ɖe tɔsisiwo dzi.
I will put his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 Ayɔm be, ‘Wòe nye Fofonye, nye Mawu, nye Agakpe kple Ɖela.’
He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.
27 Matsɔe awɔ nye ŋgɔgbevi kple fia si wodo ɖe dzi wu le anyigbadzifiawo katã dome.
And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
29 Maɖo eƒe ƒome anyi tegbee, eye zi ale si dziƒo li la, nenema ke eƒe fiazikpui hã anɔ anyii.
His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.
30 “Ne viawo gblẽ nye sewo ɖi, eye womewɔ nye ɖoɖowo dzi o,
If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
31 ne woda le nye sedede dzi, eye wogbe nye gbeɖeɖewo dzi wɔwɔ la,
If my rules are broken, and my orders are not kept;
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 send punishment on them for their sin; my rod will be the reward of their evil-doing.
33 gake nyemaxɔ nye lɔlɔ̃ le esi, alo ada le nye nuteƒewɔwɔ dzi o.
But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.
34 Nyemagbe nye nubabla la dzi wɔwɔ o, eye nyematrɔ nu si nye nu gblɔ la o.
I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.
35 Meta nye kɔkɔenyenye zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiwo katã be, nyemada alakpa na David o.
I have made an oath once by my holy name, that I will not be false to David.
36 Ke boŋ eƒe ƒome anɔ anyi tegbee, eye eƒe fiazikpui ali ke le nye ŋkume abe ɣe ene.
His seed will not come to an end for ever; the seat of his kingdom will be like the sun before me.
37 Woaɖoe anyi ɖaa abe ɣleti, ɖasefo nuteƒewɔla si le dziŋgɔli ŋu ene.” (Sela)
It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah)
38 Gake ègbe, èdo vlo, eye nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe wò amesiamina ŋu vevie.
But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.
39 Ète fli ɖe nu si nèbla kple wò dɔla me, eye nèdo gu eƒe fiakuku, tsɔe ƒu gbe ɖe ke me.
You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.
40 Ègbã eƒe gliwo, eye nèwɔ eƒe mɔ sesẽwo wozu aƒedo.
All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.
41 Ame siwo katã to afi ma la hae, eye wòzu alɔmeɖenu na eƒe aƒelikawo.
All those who come by take away his goods; he is laughed at by his neighbours.
42 Èdo eƒe futɔwo ƒe nuɖusi ɖe dzi, eye nèna eƒe ketɔwo katã tso aseye.
You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.
43 Èna eƒe yi nu tsi, eye mèkpe ɖe eŋu le aʋawɔwɔ me o.
His sword is turned back; you have not been his support in the fight.
44 Èna eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe wu enu, eye nètsɔ eƒe fiazikpui ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba.
You have put an end to his glory: the seat of his kingdom has been levelled to the earth.
45 Èɖe eƒe ɖekakpuimeŋkekewo dzi kpɔtɔ, eye nètsɔ ŋukpe tsyɔ nɛ abe avɔ ene. (Sela)
You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah)
46 O! Yehowa va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie? Ɖe nàɣla ɖokuiwò tegbea? Ɣe ka ɣi wò dziku abi abe dzo ene ase ɖo?
How long, O Lord, will you Keep yourself for ever from our eyes? how long will your wrath be burning like fire?
47 Ɖo ŋku ale si nye agbe le du dzii la dzi. Tofloko kae nye si, nèwɔ amegbetɔviwo na!
See how short my time is; why have you made all men for no purpose?
What man now living will not see death? will he be able to keep back his soul from the underworld? (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 your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?
50 Aƒetɔ, ɖo ŋku ale si woɖu fewu le wò dɔla ŋuti kple ale si nye dzi tsɔ dukɔwo ƒe vlodoame la dzi.
Keep in mind, O Lord, the shame of your servants, and how the bitter words of all the people have come into my heart;
51 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku vlodoame si wò futɔwo tsɔ le alɔme ɖem le wò amesiamina ƒe afɔɖeɖe ɖe sia ɖe ŋuti la dzi.
The bitter words of your haters, O Lord, shaming the footsteps of your king.
52 Woakafu Yehowa tegbetegbee!
Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.
