Psalms 70

1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid adesrɛ dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, yɛ ntɛm gye me nkwa; Ao Awurade bra ntɛm bɛboa me.

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

Ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me kra no anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me sɛeɛ no nyinaa mfa animguaseɛ nsane wɔn akyi.

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.

Ma wɔn a wɔka, “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no nsane wɔn akyi ɛsiane wɔn aniwuo enti.

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa nsɛpɛ wɔn ho na wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagyeɛ no nka da biara sɛ, “Onyankopɔn yɛ kɛseɛ!”

5 But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.

Meyɛ ohiani a menni ɔboafoɔ; Ao Onyankopɔn, bra me nkyɛn ntɛm. Wo ne me ɔboafoɔ ne me gyefoɔ; Ao Awurade, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase.
