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 ɔtooɛ ɛberɛ a ɔdwane firii Saulo nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔbodan no mu. Hu me mmɔbɔ, Ao Onyankopɔn, hunu me mmɔbɔ, na wo mu na me kra nya dwanekɔbea. Wo ntaban nwunu ase na mɛpɛ dwanekɔbea kɔsi sɛ amanehunu no bɛtwam.
2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
Mesu 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 firi soro hɔ bɛgye me nkwa, ɔka wɔn a wɔtaa me anibereɛ so no anim; Onyankopɔn soma ne dɔ ne ne nokorɛ.
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.
Agyata atwa me ho ahyia; meda mmoa a wɔwe ɛnam mono mu, nnipa a wɔn se te sɛ mpea ne mmɛmma na wɔn tɛkrɛma te sɛ akofena a ɛyɛ nnam.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, Your glory above all the earth.
Ao Onyankopɔn, woyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro hɔ; ma wʼanimuonyam nkata 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)
Wɔtrɛɛ asau mu de sum me nan afidie, ahohiahia brɛɛ me ase. Wɔtuu amena 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, mʼakoma agyina pintinn, mʼakoma nhinhim; mɛto dwom na mayi wo ayɛ.
8 Awake, my glory, awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
Me kra nyane! Sankuo ne bɛnta, monnyane! Me nso mɛnyane anɔpahema.
9 I thank You among the peoples, O Lord, I praise You among the nations.
Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo ayɛ wɔ amanaman no mu; mɛto wo ho dwom wɔ nnipa mu.
10 For Your kindness [is] great to the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
Wo dɔ yɛ kɛseɛ na ɛduru ɔsorosoro; wo nokorɛ kɔka ewiem.
11 Be exalted above the heavens, O God. Your glory above all the earth!
Ao Onyankopɔn, woyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro hɔ; ma wʼanimuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Mma Wɔnsɛe No” sankuo nne so.
