Psalms 13

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

Dawid dwom. Awurade enkosi da bɛn? Wo werɛ befi me afebɔɔ ana? Enkosi da bɛn na wode wʼanim behintaw me?

2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, sorrow in my heart all the day?

Enkosi da bɛn na mene mʼadwennwene bedi aperepere na awerɛhow ahyɛ me koma mu daa? Mʼatamfo nni me so nkonim nkosi da bɛn?

3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Twa wʼani hwɛ me na bua me, Awurade, me Nyankopɔn. Ma mʼani so nyɛ hann, na manna owu nna.

4 Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death:

Me tamfo bɛka se, “Madi ne so nkonim.” Na mʼahohiahiafo bedi ahurusi bere a mahwe ase.

5 Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him. They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved:

Nanso mede me ho to wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no so; me koma di ahurusi wɔ wo nkwagye mu.

6 But I have trusted in thy mercy. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, efisɛ ɔne me adi no yiye. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no.
