Psalms 57
1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities are past by.
David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Woadzii ɖe “Mègagblẽ nu o” ƒe gbeɖiɖi nu. Ekpa ha sia esi wòsi le Saul nu yi ɖabe ɖe agado aɖe me. Kpɔ nye nublanui, O! Mawu, kpɔ nye nublanui, elabena wò mee nye luʋɔ kpɔ sitsoƒe le. Wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te mabe ɖo va se ɖe esime gbegblẽ la nu nava yi.
2 I will cry to God most high; to God that performeth all things for me.
Mawu, Dziƒoʋĩtɔ lae medo ɣli na, Mawu si wɔa ɖoɖo si wòwɔ ɖe ŋunye la dzi.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
Edɔ xɔnametɔ tso dziƒo, eye wòxɔ nam heka mo na ame siwo le yonyeme tim kutɔkutɔe. (Sela) Mawu dɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple eƒe nuteƒewɔwɔ ɖa.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Mele dzatawo dome, memlɔ lã lénuwo dome, amegbetɔ siwo ƒe aɖuwo nye akplɔwo kple aŋutrɔwo, eye woƒe aɖewo nye yi ɖaɖɛwo.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
Medo wò ɖe dzi, O Mawu, gbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naklẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dug a pit before me, into the midst of which they have fallen themselves. (Selah)
Woɖo ɖɔ ɖi na nye afɔ, ena mete ɖe anyi kple nuxaxa. Woɖe ʋe ɖe mɔ dzi nam, gake woawo ŋutɔ ge dze eme. (Sela)
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Nye dzi li ke sesĩe, O Mawu, nye dzi li ke sesĩe, eya ta madzi ha aƒo saŋku.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Nyɔ, nye luʋɔ! Nyɔ, kasaŋku kple gasaŋku! Mana fɔŋli nanyɔ!
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to thee among the nations.
O! Aƒetɔ, makafu wò le dukɔwo dome, eye madzi ha na wò le dukɔwo dome,
10 For thy mercy is great to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
elabena wò lɔlɔ̃ keke ta, yi ɖatɔ dziƒo ke, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ yi ɖatɔ dziŋgɔli.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
Medo wò ɖe dzi, O Mawu, gbɔ dziƒowo ŋu, na wò ŋutikɔkɔe naklẽ ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi.
