Psalms 7
1 A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
Dawid adesrɛ dwom a Benyaminni Kus nsɛm enti ɔto maa Awurade. Ao, Awurade me Onyankopɔn, medwane metoa wo; Gye me firi wɔn a wɔtaa me nyinaa nsam,
2 Lest he tear my soul as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtete me mu sɛ gyata na wɔatete me mu asinasini a obiara rentumi nnye me.
3 O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
Ao, Awurade me Onyankopɔn, sɛ mayɛ yei na sɛ afɔdie aba me so a,
4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia deɛ ɔne me te yie anaasɛ mabɔ me ɔtamfoɔ korɔno kwa a,
5 [Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places my glory in the dust. (Selah)
ɛnneɛ ma mʼatamfoɔ ntaa me na wɔmmɛto me; ma wɔntiatia me so wɔ fam na wɔmma me funu nna mfuturo mu.
6 Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
Sɔre wʼabufuo mu, Ao Awurade! Sɔre tia mʼatamfoɔ abufuo. Nyane, me Onyankopɔn; hyɛ atɛntenee mmara.
7 And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
Ma nnipadɔm mmɛtwa wo ho nhyia. Firi soro hɔ di wɔn so;
8 YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
ma Awurade mmu nnipa no atɛn. Bu me atɛn, Ao Awurade sɛdeɛ me teneneeyɛ teɛ, sɛdeɛ me nokorɛdie teɛ, Ao Ɔsorosoroni.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
Ao Onyankopɔn teneneeni, wo a wohwehwɛ adwene ne akoma mu, fa amumuyɛfoɔ basabasayɛ bra awieeɛ na ma ateneneefoɔ nya banbɔ.
10 My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
Mʼakokyɛm ne Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn deɛ ɔgye akoma mu teneneeni no.
11 God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtemmufoɔ teneneeni, Onyame a ɔda nʼabufuo adi da biara.
12 If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
Sɛ wansesa nʼadwene a, ɔbɛse nʼakofena ano; ɔbɛkuntunu ne tadua na ɔde bɛmma ahyɛ mu.
13 Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
Wasiesie ne kɔdiawuo akodeɛ; ayɛ ne bɛmma a ɛrederɛ no krado.
14 Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
Deɛ ɔnyinsɛn amumuyɛ na basabasayɛ ahyɛ no ma no, ɔwo nnaadaa.
15 He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
Deɛ ɔtu tokuro na ɔyi mu dɔteɛ no hwe tokuro a watu no mu.
16 His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
Ɔhaw a ɔde ba no dane bɔ nʼankasa so; ne basabasayɛ bɔ nʼankasa tiri so.
17 I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
Mede aseda bɛma Awurade ne tenenee enti na mato ayɛyi dwom ayi Awurade, Ɔsorosoroni no din ayɛ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “gittit” sankuo nne so.
