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.
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. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” nne so.
