Psalmowo 36

1 David, Yehowa ƒe dɔla, ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Yehowa ƒe gbedeasi aɖe le nye dzi me tso ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ ŋuti. Mawuvɔvɔ̃ aɖeke mele woƒe ŋkuwo me o.

The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 Elabena le eya ŋutɔ ŋkume, wòvivi nu me na eɖokui ale gbegbe be mete ŋu kpɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ dze sii alo wòagbe nu le egbɔ o.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 Eƒe numenyawo vɔ̃ɖi, henye beble sɔŋ, eye wòdzudzɔ nuwɔwɔ ɖe nunya me kple nu nyui wɔwɔ.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 Eɖoa nu vɔ̃ɖi le eƒe aba dzi, etsɔa eɖokui dea asi na nu si nye vɔ̃, eye megbea nu si nye nu gbegblẽ o.

He devises mischief upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he detests not evil.

5 O! Yehowa, wò lɔlɔ̃ kɔ ɖatɔ dziƒowo ke, eye wò nuteƒewɔwɔ tɔ dziŋgɔli ke.

Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reachs unto the clouds.

6 Wò dzɔdzɔenyenye le abe to gãwo ene, eye wò afiatsotso le abe tɔ goglo ene. O! Yehowa, èkpɔa amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ta.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preserve man and beast.

7 Wò lɔlɔ̃ si meʋãna o la xɔ asi loo! Ame siwo ŋuti bubu le kple ame siwo ŋuti mele o, le amegbetɔviwo dome siaa kpɔa sitsoƒe le wò aʋala ƒe vɔvɔli te.

How excellent is your loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.

8 Wò aƒemenu gbogboawo nye nuɖuɖu na wo, eye nènaa tsi wo wonona tso wò dzidzɔtɔsisi la me.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

9 Elabena gbɔwòe agbe ƒe tsitsetse la le, eye wò kekeli mee míekpɔa kekeli le.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light.

10 Yi edzi nàɖe wò lɔlɔ̃ afia ame siwo nya wò, eye nàɖe wò dzɔdzɔenyenye afia ame siwo ƒe dzi to mɔ ɖeka.

O continue your loving kindness unto them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Dadalawo megaɖo afɔ dzinye, alo ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi nanyam o.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 Kpɔ ale si nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo dze anyi ɖe anyigbae ɖa; wotutu wo ƒu anyi, eye womete ŋu fɔ o!

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
