Psalms 28

1 BY DAVID. To You, O YHWH, I call, My rock, do not be silent to me! Lest You are silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to the pit.

Dawid dwom. Wo na mesu mefrɛ wo, Ao Awurade me Botan; nsi wʼaso wɔ me enti. Sɛ woyɛ komm a, mɛyɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔasiane kɔ amena mu no.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your holy oracle.

Tie me mmɔborɔ su ɛberɛ a mefrɛ wo pɛ mmoa ɛberɛ a mema me nsa so kyerɛ wo Tenabea Kronkron hɔ.

3 Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.

Mfa me mfra amumuyɛfoɔ mu ntwe me nkɔ wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne no. Wɔne wɔn yɔnkonom kasa fɛfɛ nanso wɔde ɔtan sie wɔn akoma mu.

4 Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Return their deed to them.

Twe wɔn aso wɔ deɛ wɔayɛ no so; wɔn adwuma bɔne no so; tua deɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ayɛ so ka na fa deɛ ɛfata wɔn sane bra wɔn so.

5 For they do not attend to the doing of YHWH, And to the work of His hands. He throws them down, And does not build them up.

Sɛ wɔmmu deɛ Awurade ayɛ ne deɛ ɔde ne nsa ayɛ no enti, ɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase na ɔremma wɔnnsɔre bio.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.

Ayɛyie nka Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ watie me mmɔborɔ su.

7 YHWH [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exults, And I thank Him with my song.

Awurade ne mʼahoɔden ne mʼakokyɛm; mʼakoma wɔ ne mu ahotosoɔ, na ɔboa me. Mʼakoma di ahurisie na mede dwomtoɔ bɛda no ase.

8 YHWH [is] strength to him, Indeed, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.

Awurade yɛ ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfoɔ; ne nkwagyeɛ nsraban ma deɛ wɔasra no ngo.

9 Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!

Gye wo nkurɔfoɔ na hyira wʼagyapadeɛ; yɛ wɔn hwefoɔ, na wo ne wɔn nnante afebɔɔ.
