Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, mesu mefrɛ wo, bra me nkyɛn ntɛm so. Sɛ mesu mefrɛ wo a, gye me so.
2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Ma me mpaeɛbɔ mmra wʼanim sɛ aduhwam; ma me nsa a mapagya nyɛ sɛ anwummerɛ afɔrebɔ.
3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.
Ao Awurade, ma ɔwɛmfoɔ nwɛn mʼano; na wɛn mʼano ɛpono.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.
Mma wɔnntwe mʼakoma nkɔ deɛ ɛyɛ bɔne ho, na ankɔyɛ deɛ amumuyɛfoɔ yɛ no bi; mma me ne abɔnefoɔ nni wɔn nnɔkɔnnɔkɔwadeɛ.
5 Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
Ma ɔteneneeni mmɔ me, ɛyɛ ayamyɛ; ma ɔnka mʼanim, ɛyɛ me tiri so ngo. Me tiri rempo. Me mpaeɛbɔ da so tia abɔnefoɔ nneyɛɛ daa.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Wɔbɛto wɔn sodifoɔ afiri abotan so abɛhwe fam; na amumuyɛfoɔ bɛhunu sɛ me nsɛm no yɛ nokorɛ.
7 As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Wɔbɛka sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ obi funtum na ɔtutu asase no, saa ara na wɔabɔ yɛn nnompe ahwete ɛda ano.” (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.
Nanso, Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, wo so na mʼani da; wo mu na mehinta. Nnya me mma owuo.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Bɔ me ho ban firi mfidie a wɔasunsum me no mu, mfidie a abɔnefoɔ asunsum no.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape.
Ma amumuyɛfoɔ no ankasa atena nyi wɔn, na menkɔ me baabi asomdwoeɛ mu.
