Psalms 59
1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Nsɛe No” sanku nne so. Dawid “miktam” dwom. Ɔtoo no bere a Saulo soma kɔwɛn Dawid fi sɛ wonkokum no no. Ao, Onyankopɔn, gye me fi mʼatamfo nsam; bɔ me ho ban fi wɔn a wɔtaa me no ho.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood.
Gye me fi amumɔyɛfo nsam. Gye me nkwa fi mogyapɛfo nsam.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
Hwɛ sɛnea wɔatɛw rehwehwɛ me akum me! Nnipa a wɔn ho yɛ hu bɔ pɔw bɔne tia me a emfi me mfomso anaa bɔne bi, Awurade.
4 Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold.
Menyɛɛ mfomso bi, nanso wɔayɛ krado sɛ wɔbɛtow ahyɛ me so. Sɔre begye me; hwɛ mʼamanehunu!
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Thyself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
Wo, Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn, ma wo ho so na twe amanaman no nyinaa aso; nhu amumɔyɛfo nkontompofo no mmɔbɔ.
6 They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Wɔsan ba anwummere, wɔbobɔ mu sɛ akraman, na wokyinkyin kuropɔn no mu.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: 'For who doth hear?'
Hwɛ nea wɔfe fi wɔn anom, wɔn anofafa mu nsɛm ano yɛ nnam sɛ mfoa, na wosusuw se: “Hena na ɔbɛte yɛn nka?”
8 But Thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; Thou shalt have all the nations in derision.
Nanso wo Awurade, woserew wɔn; wudi saa aman no nyinaa ho fɛw.
9 Because of his strength, I will wait for Thee; for God is my high tower.
Wone mʼAhoɔden, mehwɛ wo kwan; wo, Onyankopɔn, ne mʼabandennen,
10 The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon mine adversaries.
me Nyankopɔn a metumi atweri no. Onyankopɔn bedi mʼanim na ɔbɛma mahwɛ wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora no haw.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget, make them wander to and fro by Thy power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Nanso nkum wɔn, Awurade, yɛn nkatabo, na me nkurɔfo werɛ amfi wɔn. Wo tumi mu no tutu wɔn ase, na brɛ wɔn ase.
12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak.
Bɔne a efi wɔn anom, ne wɔn ano nsɛm nti ma wɔn ahomaso nkyekyere wɔn. Abususɛm a wɔka ne atoro a wotwa nti,
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
sɛe wɔn wɔ abufuwhyew mu, kosi sɛ wɔn ase bɛtɔre. Afei ɛbɛma asase so mmaa nyinaa ahu sɛ Onyankopɔn di Yakob so.
14 And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city;
Wɔsan ba anwummere, wɔbobɔ mu sɛ akraman, na wokyinkyin kuropɔn no mu.
15 They wander up and down to devour, and tarry all night if they have not their fill.
Wokyinkyin pɛ aduan na sɛ wɔammee a, wosu bobɔ mu.
16 But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning; for Thou hast been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.
Nanso mɛto wʼahoɔden ho dwom, mɛto wʼadɔe ho dwom anɔpa; efisɛ woyɛ mʼabandennen, me guankɔbea wɔ ahohia mmere mu.
17 O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Ao mʼAhoɔden, mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo; wo, Onyankopɔn, ne mʼabandennen, me Nyankopɔn a ɔyɛ ɔdɔ.
