Psalms 86
1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
Dawid mpaebɔ. Awurade, tie me na gye me so, efisɛ meyɛ ohiani ne mmɔborɔni.
2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.
Bɔ me nkwa ho ban, efisɛ mede me ho ama wo. Wo ne me Nyankopɔn, gye wʼakoa a ɔde ne ho to wo so.
3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
Awurade, hu me mmɔbɔ, na misu frɛ wo daa nyinaa.
4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
Ma wʼakoa ani nnye, na wo Awurade, wo nkyɛn na mema me kra so ba.
5 For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.
Awurade, wuye na wode bɔne kyɛ, wowɔ ɔdɔ mmoroso ma wɔn a wosu frɛ wo nyinaa.
6 Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
Awurade, tie me mpaebɔ; tie me mmɔborɔsu.
7 In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.
Mɛfrɛ wo mʼahohia da mu, na wubegye me so.
8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.
Awurade, onyame bi nni hɔ a ɔte sɛ wo; na wɔn nnwuma biara nto wo de.
9 All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.
Awurade, aman a woakyekyere nyinaa bɛba abɛsom wo wɔ wʼanim; wɔbɛba abɛhyɛ wo din anuonyam.
10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.
Woyɛ ɔkɛse na woyɛ anwonwa nnwuma; wo nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.
Awurade, kyerɛ me wʼakwan, na mɛnantew wo nokware mu; ma memfa me koma nyinaa mma wo na masuro wo din.
12 I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.
Mede me koma nyinaa meyi wo ayɛ, Awurade me Nyankopɔn na mahyɛ wo din anuonyam daa nyinaa.
13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Efisɛ ɔdɔ a wode dɔ me no so; woayi me afi owu amoa mu tɔnn. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,
Ao, Onyankopɔn, ahomasofo atow ahyɛ me so; basabasayɛfo kuw rehwehwɛ me akum me, nnipa a wɔmmfa wo nyɛ hwee no.
15 And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
Nanso wo, Awurade, woyɛ mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔdomfo Nyankopɔn, wo bo kyɛ fuw, na wʼadɔe ne wo nokware dɔɔso.
16 Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.
Dan wʼani hwɛ me na dom me; fa wʼahoɔden ma wʼakoa na gye wʼafenaa babarima nkwa.
17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
Ma me wo papayɛ ho nsɛnkyerɛnne, na mʼatamfo nhu na wɔn anim ngu ase na wo, Awurade, wo na woaboa me akyekye me werɛ.
