Psalms 36
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear 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 it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
Na ɔno ankasa ani so no ɔdaadaa no ho dodo, nti ɛmma onhu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimɔden ne nnaadaa; onnim nyansa bio na wayɛ papa.
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a ɔbɔ pɔw bɔne; na ogyaa ne ho ma bɔne kwan na ɔmpo nea enye.
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
Awurade, wʼadɔe du ɔsorosoro wo nokwaredi du wim tɔnn.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.
Wo trenee te sɛ mmepɔw akɛse. Wʼatɛntrenee mu dɔ sɛ po bun. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
Wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛse ne nketewa nya guankɔbea wɔ wo ntaban nwini ase.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
Wodi nea abu so wɔ wo fi, woma wɔnom fi wʼanika asuten no mu.
9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.
Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asuti wɔ; wo hann mu na yehu hann.
10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wonim wo, ma wo trenee ntena wɔn a wɔteɛ, koma mu.
11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumɔyɛfo nsa nnsunsum me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
Hwɛ sɛnea nnebɔneyɛfo ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
