Psalms 77
1 For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice, yes, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me.
Asaf dwom. Mesu mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn srɛɛ mmoa; mesu mefrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntie me.
2 In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
Ɛberɛ a mewɔ ahohiahia mu no, mehwehwɛɛ Awurade; metrɛɛ me nsa a ɛmpa aba mu anadwo na me kra ampene sɛ wɔbɛkyekye ne werɛ.
3 I remembered God, and rejoiced; I poured out my complaint, and my soul fainted. (Pause)
Ao Onyankopɔn mekaee wo, na mesii apinie; medwendweneeɛ, na me honhom tɔɔ piti.
4 All mine enemies set a watch [against me]: I was troubled, and spoke not.
Woamma mʼani ankum; amanehunu dodoɔ enti, mantumi ankasa.
5 I considered the days of old, and remembered ancient years.
Medwenee nna a atwam no ho, teteete mfeɛ no ho;
6 And I meditated; I communed with my heart by night, and diligently searched my spirit, [saying],
mekaee me nnwom a na meto no anadwo. Mʼakoma dwenee ho na me honhom bisaa sɛ:
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be well pleased no more?
“Enti, Awurade bɛpo yɛn daa? Ɔrenhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio anaa?
8 Will he cut off his mercy for ever, even for ever and ever?
Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da atu ayera koraa anaa? Na ne bɔhyɛ no, amma mu koraa anaa?
9 Will God forget to pity? or will he shut up his compassions in his wrath? (Pause)
Onyankopɔn werɛ afiri sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ anaa? Abufuo enti ne yam nhyehye no bio anaa?”
10 And I said, Now I have begun; this is the change of the right hand of the Most High.
Afei, medwenee sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ɔsorosoroni, deɛ ɛhyɛ me kra so ne sɛ, wommfa wo tete nsa nifa no mmoa yɛn bio.”
11 I remembered the works of the Lord; for I will remember your wonders from the beginning.
Mɛkae nneɛma a Awurade ayɛ; aane, mɛkae wʼanwanwadeɛ a woyɛɛ tete no.
12 And I will meditate on all your works, and will consider your doings.
Mɛdwene wo nnwuma nyinaa ho na masusu wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ nyinaa ho.
13 O God, your way is in the sanctuary; who is a great God as our God?
Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼakwan yɛ kronn. Onyame bɛn na ɔso sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn?
14 You are the God that do wonders; you have made known your power among the nations.
Wone Onyankopɔn a woyɛ anwanwadeɛ; wokyerɛ wo tumi wɔ aman mu.
15 You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Pause)
Wode wo tumi nsa no gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob ne Yosef asefoɔ no.
16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and feared; and the depths were troubled.
Ao Onyankopɔn, nsuo no hunuu wo, nsuo no hunuu wo na wɔpopoeɛ; ebunu no mpo ho wosoeɛ.
17 [There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for your arrows went abroad.
Omununkum tɔɔ nsuo, aprannaa gyegyee wɔ soro; na wo bɛmma twaa ogya dii akɔneaba.
18 The voice of your thunder was abroad, and around your lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled a quaked.
Wʼaprannaa boboom wɔ twahoframa no mu, wʼanyinam hyerɛn ewiase; asase popoeɛ na ɛwosoeɛ.
19 Your way is in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps can’t be known.
Wode wo kwan faa ɛpo mu, wode faa nsuo kɛseɛ mu, nanso wɔanhunu wʼanammɔn.
20 You did guide your people as sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Wonam Mose ne Aaron so dii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim sɛ nnwankuo.
