Psalms 36
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi da mʼakoma so a ɛfa omumuyɛfoɔ mmarato ho. Wɔnnsuro Onyankopɔn.
2 For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
Na ɔno ankasa ani so no, ɔdaadaa ne ho dodo enti mma ɔnhunu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
3 The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimuɔden ne nnaadaa; ɔnnim nyansa bio, na wayɛ papa.
4 Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a, ɔbɔ pɔ bɔne; na ɔgyaa ne ho ma bɔne ɛkwan na ɔmpo deɛ ɛnyɛ.
5 Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
Awurade, wʼadɔeɛ duru sorosoro wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem tɔnn.
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
Wo tenenee te sɛ mmepɔ akɛseɛ. Wʼatɛntenenee mu dɔ sɛ ɛpo bunu. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
7 How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
Wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛseɛ ne nketewa nya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.
8 They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
Wɔdi deɛ abu soɔ wɔ wo fie woma wɔnom firi wʼanika asutene no mu.
9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asutire wɔ; wo hann mu na yɛhunu hann.
10 Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wɔnim wo, ma wo tenenee ntena wɔn a wɔtene akoma mu.
11 Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumuyɛfoɔ nsa nnsunsum me.
12 There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
Hwɛ sɛdeɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
