Psalms 36
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Awurade somfo Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi wɔ me koma mu a efi Onyankopɔn hɔ a ɛfa omumɔyɛfo mmarato ho. Onyankopɔn suro nni wɔn ani so.
2 For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
Na ɔno ankasa ani so no ɔdaadaa no ho dodo, nti ɛmma onhu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
3 The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimɔden ne nnaadaa; onnim nyansa bio na wayɛ papa.
4 Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a ɔbɔ pɔw bɔne; na ogyaa ne ho ma bɔne kwan na ɔmpo nea enye.
5 Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
Awurade, wʼadɔe du ɔsorosoro wo nokwaredi du wim tɔnn.
6 Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
Wo trenee te sɛ mmepɔw akɛse. Wʼatɛntrenee mu dɔ sɛ po bun. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
7 How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
Wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛse ne nketewa nya guankɔbea wɔ wo ntaban nwini ase.
8 They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
Wodi nea abu so wɔ wo fi, woma wɔnom fi wʼanika asuten no mu.
9 For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asuti wɔ; wo hann mu na yehu hann.
10 Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wonim wo, ma wo trenee ntena wɔn a wɔteɛ, koma mu.
11 Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumɔyɛfo nsa nnsunsum me.
12 There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
Hwɛ sɛnea nnebɔneyɛfo ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
