Psalms 30
1 I will extol thee, O Jehovah, for thou have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Dawid dwom. Mɛma wo so, Awurade, efisɛ, woayi me afi bun mu na woamma mʼatamfo anserew me.
2 O Jehovah my God, I cried to thee, and thou have healed me.
Awurade me Nyankopɔn, misu frɛɛ wo sɛ boa me na wosaa me yare.
3 O Jehovah, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Awurade, wuyii me fii ɔda mu; wode me ho kyɛɛ me na woamma mankɔ amoa mu. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing praise to Jehovah, O ye sanctified of his, and give thanks to his holiness.
Monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade; mo a moyɛ nʼahotewfo! Monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy is in the morning.
Nʼabufuw nkyɛ, na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa; agyaadwotwa bɛwɔ hɔ anadwo, nanso ahosɛpɛw bɛba anɔpa.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
Metee nka sɛ mewɔ bammɔ no, mekae se, “Merenhinhim da.”
7 Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor had made my mountain to stand strong. Thou hid thy face; I was troubled.
Awurade, woyɛɛ me adom no womaa me bepɔw gyinaa pintinn na wode wʼanim hintaw me no, me koma tui.
8 I cried to thee, O Jehovah, and to Jehovah I made supplication.
Wo, Awurade na mefrɛɛ wo; wo hɔ na misu mesrɛɛ mmɔborɔhunu se:
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?
“Mfaso bɛn na ɛwɔ me sɛe so, sɛ mɛkɔ amoa mu? Mfutuma beyi wo ayɛ ana? Ɛbɛpae mu aka wo nokwaredi ana?
10 Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me. Jehovah, be thou my helper.
Tie me, Awurade, na hu me mmɔbɔ! Awurade, yɛ me boafo.”
11 Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness,
Wodan mʼagyaadwotwa yɛɛ no asaw; wuyii mʼatweaatam fii me ho na wode anigye furaa me,
12 to the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.
sɛ me koma bɛto nnwom ama wo na ɛrenyɛ komm. Awurade me Nyankopɔn, meyi wo ayɛ daa. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
