Psalms 5

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [BLOWN] INTO THE PIPES. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear my sayings, O YHWH, Consider my (meditation)

Dawid dwom. Awurade, yɛ aso ma me nsɛm na dwen mʼapinisi ho.

2 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For I pray to You habitually.

Tie me mmoa ho sufrɛ, me Hene ne me Nyankopɔn, efisɛ wo na mebɔ wo mpae.

3 YHWH, [in] the morning You hear my voice, [In] the morning I set in array for You, And I look out [expectantly].

Awurade, wote me nne anɔpa; anɔpa, mede mʼadesrɛ ba wʼanim na mede anidaso twɛn.

4 For You [are] not a God desiring wickedness, Evil does not inhabit You.

Wonyɛ Onyankopɔn a wʼani gye bɔne ho; na amumɔyɛfo rentumi ne wo ntena.

5 The boastful do not station themselves before Your eyes: You have hated all working iniquity.

Ahantanfo rentumi nnyina wʼanim; wukyi wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa.

6 You destroy those speaking lies, YHWH detests a man of blood and deceit.

Wosɛe wɔn a wɔka atosɛm; Awurade kyi mogyapɛfo ne asisifo.

7 And I, in the abundance of Your kindness, I enter Your house, I bow myself toward Your holy temple in Your fear.

Nanso me, wo mmɔborɔhunu bebrebe nti, mɛba wo fi; na nidi mu na mɛkotow akyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no.

8 O YHWH, lead me in Your righteousness, Because of those observing me, Make Your way straight before me,

Awurade kyerɛ me kwan wɔ wo trenee mu mʼatamfo nti, bɔ wo kwan tee wɔ mʼanim.

9 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is] mischiefs, Their throat [is] an open grave, They make their tongue smooth.

Wɔn anom asɛm baako mpo nyɛ nokware; ɔsɛe ahyɛ wɔn koma ma. Wɔn menewa yɛ ɔda a so abue wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma ka nnaadaasɛm.

10 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have been rebellious against You.

Onyankopɔn, bu wɔn fɔ! Ma wɔn pɔw bɔne nyɛ wɔn asehwe. Pam wɔn; esiane wɔn bɔne dodow no nti, efisɛ wɔasɔre atia wo.

11 And all trusting in You rejoice, They sing for all time, and You cover them over, And those loving Your Name exult in You.

Nanso ma wɔn a woguan ba wo nkyɛn no ani nnye; ma wɔmfa anigye nto dwom daa. Trɛw wo bammɔ mu wɔ wɔn so, na wɔn a wɔdɔ wo din no ma wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu.

12 For You bless the righteous, O YHWH, Surrounding him with favor as a buckler!

Awurade, ampa ara, wuhyira atreneefo; na wode wʼayamye twa wɔn ho hyia sɛ nkatabo. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ ɔmfa sankuhama nto wɔ Seminit nne so.
