Psalms 7
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
Dawid adesrɛ dwom a Benyaminni Kus nsɛm enti ɔto maa Awurade. Ao, Awurade me Onyankopɔn, medwane metoa wo; Gye me firi wɔn a wɔtaa me nyinaa nsam,
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtete me mu sɛ gyata na wɔatete me mu asinasini a obiara rentumi nnye me.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
Ao, Awurade me Onyankopɔn, sɛ mayɛ yei na sɛ afɔdie aba me so a,
4 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia deɛ ɔne me te yie anaasɛ mabɔ me ɔtamfoɔ korɔno kwa a,
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
ɛnneɛ ma mʼatamfoɔ ntaa me na wɔmmɛto me; ma wɔntiatia me so wɔ fam na wɔmma me funu nna mfuturo mu.
6 Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
Sɔre wʼabufuo mu, Ao Awurade! Sɔre tia mʼatamfoɔ abufuo. Nyane, me Onyankopɔn; hyɛ atɛntenee mmara.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
Ma nnipadɔm mmɛtwa wo ho nhyia. Firi soro hɔ di wɔn so;
8 O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
ma Awurade mmu nnipa no atɛn. Bu me atɛn, Ao Awurade sɛdeɛ me teneneeyɛ teɛ, sɛdeɛ me nokorɛdie teɛ, Ao Ɔsorosoroni.
9 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.
Ao Onyankopɔn teneneeni, wo a wohwehwɛ adwene ne akoma mu, fa amumuyɛfoɔ basabasayɛ bra awieeɛ na ma ateneneefoɔ nya banbɔ.
10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
Mʼakokyɛm ne Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn deɛ ɔgye akoma mu teneneeni no.
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:
Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtemmufoɔ teneneeni, Onyame a ɔda nʼabufuo adi da biara.
12 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
Sɛ wansesa nʼadwene a, ɔbɛse nʼakofena ano; ɔbɛkuntunu ne tadua na ɔde bɛmma ahyɛ mu.
13 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
Wasiesie ne kɔdiawuo akodeɛ; ayɛ ne bɛmma a ɛrederɛ no krado.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
Deɛ ɔnyinsɛn amumuyɛ na basabasayɛ ahyɛ no ma no, ɔwo nnaadaa.
15 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Deɛ ɔtu tokuro na ɔyi mu dɔteɛ no hwe tokuro a watu no mu.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
Ɔhaw a ɔde ba no dane bɔ nʼankasa so; ne basabasayɛ bɔ nʼankasa tiri so.
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Mede aseda bɛma Awurade ne tenenee enti na mato ayɛyi dwom ayi Awurade, Ɔsorosoroni no din ayɛ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “gittit” sankuo nne so.
