Psalms 56
1 Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up. Fighting all the day long he oppresses me.
Dawid dwom a ɔtoo bere a Filistifo kyeree no wɔ Gat no. Onyankopɔn, hu me mmɔbɔ na nnipa taa me anibere so; da mu nyinaa womia wɔn taa no mu.
2 My enemies would swallow me up all the day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
Wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora taa me da mu nyinaa; wɔn a wɔma wɔn ho so tia me no dɔɔso.
3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
Sɛ mebɔ hu a, mede me ho bɛto wo so.
4 In God I will praise his word. In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so, na merensuro. Dɛn na onipa desani betumi ayɛ me?
5 All the day long they wrest my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
Da mu nyinaa wogye mʼano si bɔne; bere biara wɔbɔ pɔw sɛ wɔbɛsɛe me.
6 They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.
Wɔbɔ pɔw, wɔtetɛw, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntu, susuw sɛ wobekum me.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
Wɔn amumɔyɛ nti mma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni; Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuw mu.
8 Thou number my wanderings. Put thou my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book?
Kyerɛw me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nusu wɔ wo nhoma mmobɔwee no mu. Enni nea woakyerɛw ato hɔ no mu ana?
9 Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I call. This I know, that God is for me.
Sɛ mepɛ mmoa fi wo hɔ a, mʼatamfo bɛsan wɔn akyi. Eyi bɛma mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ mʼafa.
10 In God I will praise his word. In Jehovah I will praise his word.
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, Awurade a mekamfo nʼasɛm no,
11 In God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so; na merensuro. Dɛn na ɔdesani betumi ayɛ me?
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God. I will render thank offerings to thee.
Me Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ bɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔre bɛbrɛ wo.
13 For thou have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Efisɛ, woagye me afi owu mu, na mʼanan anhintiw, na matumi anantew Onyankopɔn anim wɔ nkwa hann no mu. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” nne so.
