Psalms 94
1 O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
Awurade, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, hyerɛn.
2 Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
Sɔre, Ao wo a woyɛ asase so ɔtemmufoɔ, tua ahantanfoɔ ka sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, amumuyɛfoɔ nnye wɔn ani nkɔsi da bɛn?
4 Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
Wɔkasa ahantan so; ahohoahoa ahyɛ abɔnefoɔ nyinaa ma.
5 Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
Ao Awurade, wɔdwerɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ; wɔhyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ so.
6 They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
Wɔkunkumm akunafoɔ ne amanfrafoɔ; na wɔdi nwisiaa awu.
7 And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
Wɔka sɛ, “Awurade nhunu, Yakob Onyankopɔn ayi nʼani.”
8 Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
Monhwɛ yie, mo agyimifoɔ a mowɔ nnipa no mu; nkwaseafoɔ, da bɛn na mobɛhunu nyansa?
9 Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
Deɛ ɔbɔɔ aso no, ɔrente asɛm anaa? Deɛ ɔyɛɛ ani no, ɔrenhunu adeɛ anaa?
10 He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?
Deɛ ɔtenetene aman so no rentwe aso anaa? Deɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛ onipa no nnim nyansa anaa?
11 The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ; ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.
12 Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
Ao Awurade, nhyira ne onipa a wotenetene ne so, onipa a wokyerɛ no wo mmara no;
13 So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
Woma wɔn ɔhome firi amanehunu nna mu, kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛtu amena ama amumuyɛfoɔ.
14 The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
Awurade rempo ne nkurɔfoɔ; na ɔrennya nʼagyapadeɛ hɔ da.
15 But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
Atemmuo bɛgyina teneneeyɛ so bio, na wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ nyinaa bɛdi so.
16 Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia amumuyɛfoɔ ama me? Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia abɔnefoɔ ama me?
17 If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
Sɛ Awurade ammoa me a, anka mekɔɔ owuo kommyɛ mu ntɛm so.
18 If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
Ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, “Menan rewatiri” no, Ao Awurade, wo dɔ no sɔɔ me mu.
19 Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
Ɛberɛ a me dadwene dɔɔso no, wʼawerɛkyekye maa me kra abotɔyam.
20 What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
Ɔhene a porɔeɛ ahyɛ no ma no ne wo wɔ ayɔnkofa anaa? Wʼani gye ahennie a ɛde amanehunu ba ho anaa?
21 They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
Awudifoɔ bɔ mu tia ateneneefoɔ na wɔn a wɔdi bem no, wɔbu wɔn kumfɔ.
22 But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
Nanso Awurade yɛ mʼaban; na me Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔbotan a ne mu na menya ahintaeɛ.
23 And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
Ɔbɛtua wɔn nnebɔne no so ka na wɔn amumuyɛ enti, wasɛe wɔn; Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe wɔn.
