Psalms 70

1 For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

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

2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

Ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me kra no anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me sɛe no nyinaa mfa animguase nsan wɔn akyi.

3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

Ma wɔn a wɔka, “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no nsan wɔn akyi, esiane wɔn aniwu nti.

4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa nsɛpɛw wɔn ho na wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagye no nka da biara se, “Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔkɛse!”

5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

Me de meyɛ ohiani a minni ɔboafo; Ao, Onyankopɔn, bra me nkyɛn ntɛm. Wo ne me boafo ne me gyefo; Awurade, ntwentwɛn wʼanan ase.
