Psalms 61

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe kasaŋku ŋu. Se nye ɣlidodo, O Mawu, eye nàlé to ɖe nye gbedodoɖa ŋu.

2 From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

Meyɔ wò tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenu, meyɔ wò, esi nu te nye dzi ŋu belibelibeli; azɔ kplɔm yi ɖe agakpe si kɔ wum la dzi,

3 For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

elabena wòe nye nye sitsoƒe kple mɔ sesẽ, le futɔ la ta.

4 I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

Medi vevie be manɔ wò agbadɔ me tegbee, eye mabe ɖe wò aʋala ƒe fafaƒe. (Sela)

5 For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

O! Mawu, èse nye adzɔgbeɖeɖewo, eye nètsɔ ame siwo vɔ̃a wò ŋkɔ la ƒe domenyinu nam.

6 Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

Dzi fia la ƒe agbemeŋkekewo ɖe edzi nɛ, eƒe ƒewo nasɔ gbɔ be wòakpɔ dzidzime geɖewo.

7 Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

Neɖu fia le Mawu ŋkume tegbee, eye na wò lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nakpɔ eta.

8 So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.

Ekema madzi kafukafuha na wò ŋkɔ tegbee, eye maxe nye adzɔgbeɖefewo gbe sia gbe.
