Psalms 70

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

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

2 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

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 Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

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

4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, 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 afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no 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.
