Psalms 7
1 Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O Lord my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, and deliuer me,
Dawid adesrɛ dwom a Benyaminni Kus nsɛm nti ɔto maa Awurade. Awurade me Nyankopɔn, miguan toa wo; Gye me fi wɔn a wɔtaa me nyinaa nsam,
2 Least he deuoure my soule like a lion, and teare it in pieces, while there is none to helpe.
anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtetew me mu sɛ gyata na wɔatetew me mu asinasin a obiara rentumi nnye me.
3 O Lord my God, if I haue done this thing, if there be any wickednes in mine handes,
Awurade me Nyankopɔn, sɛ mayɛ eyi na sɛ afɔdi aba me so a,
4 If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that had peace with mee, (yea I haue deliuered him that vexed me without cause)
sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia nea ɔne me te yiye, anaasɛ mabɔ me tamfo korɔn kwa a,
5 Then let the enemie persecute my soule and take it: yea, let him treade my life downe vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
ɛno de ma mʼatamfo ntaa me na wɔmmɛto me; ma wontiatia me so wɔ fam, na wɔmma me funu nna mfutuma mu.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift vp thy selfe against the rage of mine enemies, and awake for mee according to the iudgement that thou hast appointed.
Sɔre wɔ wʼabufuw mu, Awurade! Sɔre tia mʼatamfo abufuw. Nyan, me Nyankopɔn; hyɛ atɛntrenee mmara.
7 So shall the Congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne on hie.
Ma nnipadɔm mmetwa wo ho nhyia. Fi ɔsoro hɔ di wɔn so;
8 The Lord shall iudge the people: Iudge thou me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine innocencie, that is in mee.
ma Awurade mmu nnipa no atɛn. Bu me atɛn, Awurade sɛnea me trenee te, sɛnea me nokwaredi te, Ao, Ɔsorosoroni.
9 Oh let the malice of the wicked come to an ende: but guide thou the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
Onyankopɔn treneeni, wo a wohwehwɛ adwene ne koma mu, fa amumɔyɛfo basabasayɛ bra awiei na ma atreneefo nnya bammɔ.
10 My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart.
Me nkatabo ne Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn nea ogye koma mu treneeni no.
11 God iudgeth the righteous, and him that contemneth God euery day.
Onyankopɔn yɛ otemmufo treneeni, Onyame a ɔda nʼabufuwhyew adi da biara.
12 Except he turne, he hath whet his sword: he hath bent his bowe and made it readie.
Sɛ wansesa nʼadwene a, ɔbɛsew nʼafoa ano; obekuntun ne tadua na ɔde bɛmma ahyɛ mu.
13 Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me.
Wasiesie nʼakode a ɛyɛ hu; ayɛ ne bɛmma a ɛredɛw no krado.
14 Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye.
Nea onyinsɛn amumɔyɛ na basabasayɛ ahyɛ no ma no, ɔwo nnaadaa.
15 Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made.
Nea otu tokuru, na oyi mu dɔte no hwe tokuru a watu no mu.
16 His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, and his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate.
Ɔhaw a ɔde ba no dan bɔ nʼankasa so; ne basabasayɛ bɔ nʼankasa ti so.
17 I wil praise the Lord according to his righteousnes, and will sing praise to the Name of the Lord most high.
Mede aseda bɛma Awurade, ne trenee nti, na mato ayeyi dwom ayi Awurade, Ɔsorosoroni no din ayɛ. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo se wɔnto no “gittit” sanku nne so.
