Psalms 57
1 TO THE OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN HIS FLEEING FROM THE FACE OF SAUL INTO A CAVE. Favor me, O God, favor me, For my soul is trusting in You, And I trust in the shadow of Your wings, Until the calamities pass over.
Dawid dwom a ɔtoo bere a oguan fii Saulo nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔbodan no mu. Hu me mmɔbɔ, me Onyankopɔn, hu me mmɔbɔ, na wo mu na me kra nya guankɔbea. Wo ntaban nwini ase na mɛpɛ guankɔbea kosi sɛ amanehunu no betwa mu.
2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
Misu frɛ Onyankopɔn, Ɔsorosoroni no; Onyankopɔn a ɔma ne pɛ ba mu wɔ me ho.
3 He sends from the heavens, and saves me, He reproached [the one] who is panting after me. (Selah) God sends forth His kindness and His truth.
Ɔsoma fi ɔsoro hɔ begye me nkwa, ɔka wɔn a wɔtaa me anibere so no anim; Onyankopɔn soma ne dɔ ne ne nokware.
4 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames—sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Gyata atwa me ho ahyia; meda mmoa a wɔwe nam amono mu, nnipa a wɔn se te sɛ mpeaw ne mmɛmma na wɔn tɛkrɛma te sɛ afoa a ɛyɛ nnam.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory above all the earth.
Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
6 They have prepared a net for my steps, My soul has bowed down, They have dug a pit before me, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
Wɔtrɛw asau mu de sum mʼanan afiri, ahohiahia brɛɛ me ase. Wotuu amoa wɔ me kwan mu, nanso wɔn ankasa akɔtotɔ mu.
7 My heart is prepared, O God, My heart is prepared, I sing and praise.
Ao, Onyankopɔn, me koma agyina pintinn, me koma yɛ pintinn; mɛto dwom na mayi wo ayɛ.
8 Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
Me kra nyan! Sanku ne bɛnta, munnyan! Me nso menyan anɔpahema.
9 I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman no mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa mu.
10 For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
Ao, Onyankopɔn, wɔmma wo so mmoro ɔsoro; ma wʼanuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” sanku nne so.
