Psalms 56
1 Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar) when the Philistines held him in Geth. Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
Dawid dwom a ɔtoo bere a Filistifo kyeree no wɔ Gat no. Onyankopɔn, hu me mmɔbɔ na nnipa taa me anibere so; da mu nyinaa womia wɔn taa no mu.
2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.
Wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora taa me da mu nyinaa; wɔn a wɔma wɔn ho so tia me no dɔɔso.
3 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.
Sɛ mebɔ hu a, mede me ho bɛto wo so.
4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so, na merensuro. Dɛn na onipa desani betumi ayɛ me?
5 All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
Da mu nyinaa wogye mʼano si bɔne; bere biara wɔbɔ pɔw sɛ wɔbɛsɛe me.
6 They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,
Wɔbɔ pɔw, wɔtetɛw, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntu, susuw sɛ wobekum me.
7 For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,
Wɔn amumɔyɛ nti mma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni; Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuw mu.
8 I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.
Kyerɛw me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nusu wɔ wo nhoma mmobɔwee no mu. Enni nea woakyerɛw ato hɔ no mu ana?
9 Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.
Sɛ mepɛ mmoa fi wo hɔ a, mʼatamfo bɛsan wɔn akyi. Eyi bɛma mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ mʼafa.
10 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech.
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, Awurade a mekamfo nʼasɛm no,
11 In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so; na merensuro. Dɛn na ɔdesani betumi ayɛ me?
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:
Me Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ bɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔre bɛbrɛ wo.
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
Efisɛ, woagye me afi owu mu, na mʼanan anhintiw, na matumi anantew Onyankopɔn anim wɔ nkwa hann no mu. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” nne so.
