Psalms 56

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David on Michtam, concerning the dumme doue in a farre countrey, when the Philistims tooke him in Gath. Be mercifull vnto me, O God, for man would swallow me vp: he fighteth continually and vexeth me.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Aburuburu a osi Akyirikyiri Odum so,” nne so. 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 Mine enemies would dayly swallowe mee vp: for many fight against me, O thou most High.

Wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora taa me da mu nyinaa; wɔn a wɔma wɔn ho so tia me no dɔɔso.

3 When I was afrayd, I trusted in thee.

Sɛ mebɔ hu a, mede me ho bɛto wo so.

4 I will reioyce in God, because of his word, I trust in God, and will not feare what flesh can doe vnto me.

Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so, na merensuro. Dɛn na onipa desani betumi ayɛ me?

5 Mine owne wordes grieue me dayly: all their thoughtes are against me to doe me hurt.

Da mu nyinaa wogye mʼano si bɔne; bere biara wɔbɔ pɔw sɛ wɔbɛsɛe me.

6 They gather together, and keepe them selues close: they marke my steps, because they waite for my soule.

Wɔbɔ pɔw, wɔtetɛw, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntu, susuw sɛ wobekum me.

7 They thinke they shall escape by iniquitie: O God, cast these people downe in thine anger.

Wɔn amumɔyɛ nti mma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni; Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuw mu.

8 Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottel: are they not in thy register?

Kyerɛw me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nusu wɔ wo nhoma mmobɔwee no mu. Enni nea woakyerɛw ato hɔ no mu ana?

9 When I cry, then mine enemies shall turne backe: this I know, for God is with me.

Sɛ mepɛ mmoa fi wo hɔ a, mʼatamfo bɛsan wɔn akyi. Eyi bɛma mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ mʼafa.

10 I will reioyce in God because of his worde: in the Lord wil I reioyce because of his worde.

Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, Awurade a mekamfo nʼasɛm no,

11 In God doe I trust: I will not be afrayd what man can doe vnto me.

mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so; na merensuro. Dɛn na ɔdesani betumi ayɛ me?

12 Thy vowes are vpon me, O God: I will render prayses vnto thee.

Me Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ bɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔre bɛbrɛ wo.

13 For thou hast deliuered my soule from death, and also my feete from falling, that I may walke before God in the light of the liuing.

Efisɛ, woagye me afi owu mu, na mʼanan anhintiw, na matumi anantew Onyankopɔn anim wɔ nkwa hann no mu.
