Psalms 52
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoeɛ ɛberɛ a Edomni Doeg bɛka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid akɔ Ahimelek fie” no. Ɔkɛseɛ, adɛn enti na wohoahoa wo ho wɔ wo bɔne ho? Adɛn enti na wohoahoa wo ho da mu nyinaa, wo a woyɛ animguasedeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so?
2 Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.
Wo tɛkrɛma bɔ ɔsɛeɛ ho pɔ; ɛte sɛ yiwan a ano yɛ tahwetahwe. Wo a wotwa nkontompo nko ara.
3 Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. (Selah)
Wʼani gye bɔne ho sene papa, wopɛ atorɔ sene sɛ wobɛka nokorɛ.
4 Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!
Wodɔ asɛm biara a ɛde ɔhaw ba, Ao wo tɛkrɛma daadaafoɔ!
5 So shall God destroy thee for euer: he shall take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. (Selah)
Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn de ɔsɛeɛ a ɛnni awieeɛ bɛbrɛ wo; ɔbɛtwe wo afiri wo ntomadan mu na watete wo mu; Ɔbɛtɔre wʼase wɔ ateasefoɔ asase so.
6 The righteous also shall see it, and feare, and shall laugh at him, saying,
Ateneneefoɔ bɛhunu yei na wɔasuro; wɔbɛsere no na wɔaka sɛ,
7 Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.
“Hwɛ, onipa no nie deɛ wamfa Onyankopɔn anyɛ nʼabandenden na mmom ɔde ne ho too nʼahonya dodoɔ so na ɔnyaa ahoɔden de sɛee afoforɔ no!”
8 But I shall bee like a greene oliue tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of God for euer and euer.
Nanso, mete sɛ ngo dua a ɛrenyini wɔ Onyankopɔn fie: mede me ho to Onyankopɔn dɔ a ɛnsa da no so daa nyinaa.
9 I will alway praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy Name, because it is good before thy Saints.
Mɛyi wo ayɛ daa wɔ deɛ woayɛ nti; wo din so na mʼani bɛda, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ. Mɛyi wo ayɛ wɔ wʼahotefoɔ anim.
