Psalms 13

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?

Dawid dwom. Ao, Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn? Wo werɛ bɛfiri me afebɔɔ anaa? Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn na wode wʼanim bɛhinta me?

2 How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn na mene mʼadwendwene bɛdi apereapereɛ na awerɛhoɔ ahyɛ mʼakoma mu daa? Mʼatamfoɔ nni me so nkonim nkɔsi da bɛn?

3 How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Te wʼani hwɛ me na bua me, Ao, Awurade, me Onyankopɔn. Ma mʼani so nyɛ hann, na manna owuo nna.

4 Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

Me ɔtamfoɔ bɛka sɛ, “Madi ne so nkonim.” Na mʼahohiahiafoɔ bɛdi ahurisie ɛberɛ a mahwe ase.

5 lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

Nanso mede me ho to wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no so; mʼakoma di ahurisie wɔ wo nkwagyeɛ mu.

6 But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.

Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ ɔne me adi no yie. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ no.
