Psalms 36
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, BY DAVID. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, “Fear of God is not before his eyes,
Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi da mʼakoma so a ɛfa omumuyɛfoɔ mmarato ho. Wɔnnsuro Onyankopɔn.
2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
Na ɔno ankasa ani so no, ɔdaadaa ne ho dodo enti mma ɔnhunu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently—to do good.
Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimuɔden ne nnaadaa; ɔnnim nyansa bio, na wayɛ papa.
4 He devises iniquity on his bed, He stations himself on a way not good, He does not refuse evil.”
Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a, ɔbɔ pɔ bɔne; na ɔgyaa ne ho ma bɔne ɛkwan na ɔmpo deɛ ɛnyɛ.
5 O YHWH, Your kindness [is] in the heavens, Your faithfulness [is] to the clouds.
Awurade, wʼadɔeɛ duru sorosoro wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem tɔnn.
6 Your righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Your judgments [are] a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH.
Wo tenenee te sɛ mmepɔ akɛseɛ. Wʼatɛntenenee mu dɔ sɛ ɛpo bunu. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
7 How precious [is] Your kindness, O God, And the sons of men trust In the shadow of Your wings.
Wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛseɛ ne nketewa nya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.
8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights.
Wɔdi deɛ abu soɔ wɔ wo fie woma wɔnom firi wʼanika asutene no mu.
9 For a fountain of life [is] with You, In Your light we see light.
Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asutire wɔ; wo hann mu na yɛhunu hann.
10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wɔnim wo, ma wo tenenee ntena wɔn a wɔtene akoma mu.
11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, And do not let a hand of the wicked move me.
Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumuyɛfoɔ nsa nnsunsum me.
12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
Hwɛ sɛdeɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
