Psalms 70

1 “To the chief musician, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid adesrɛ dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, yɛ ntɛm gye me nkwa; Awurade bra ntɛm bɛboa me.

2 Let those that seek after my life be made ashamed and put to the blush: let those that desire my unhappiness be turned backward and put to confusion.

Ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me kra no anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me sɛe no nyinaa mfa animguase nsan wɔn akyi.

3 Let them be turned backward in consequence of their shame, that say, Aha, aha.

Ma wɔn a wɔka, “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no nsan wɔn akyi, esiane wɔn aniwu nti.

4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, God is great.

Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa nsɛpɛw wɔn ho na wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagye no nka da biara se, “Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔkɛse!”

5 But I am poor and needy, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.

Me de meyɛ ohiani a minni ɔboafo; Ao, Onyankopɔn, bra me nkyɛn ntɛm. Wo ne me boafo ne me gyefo; Awurade, ntwentwɛn wʼanan ase.
