Psalms 86
1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
Dawid mpaeɛbɔ. Ao Awurade, tie me na gye me so, ɛfiri sɛ 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, ɛfiri sɛ mede me ho ama wo. Wone me Onyankopɔn, gye wʼakoa a ɔde ne ho to wo so.
3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
Ao Awurade, hunu me mmɔbɔ, na mesu 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.
Ao Awurade, woyɛ, na wode bɔne kyɛ, wowɔ ɔdɔ mmorosoɔ ma wɔn a wɔsu frɛ wo nyinaa.
6 Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
Ao Awurade, tie me mpaeɛbɔ; tie me mmɔborɔ su.
7 In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.
Mɛfrɛ wo mʼahohia da mu, na wobɛgye me so.
8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.
Ao Awurade, onyame bi nni hɔ a ɔte sɛ wo; na wɔn nnwuma biara nto wo deɛ.
9 All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.
Ao Awurade, aman a woakyekyere nyinaa bɛba abɛsom wo wɔ wʼanim; wɔbɛba abɛhyɛ wo din animuonyam.
10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.
Woyɛ kɛseɛ, na woyɛ anwanwa 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.
Ao Awurade, kyerɛ me wʼakwan, na mɛnante wo nokorɛ mu; ma memfa mʼakoma 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 mʼakoma nyinaa mɛyi wo ayɛ, Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn na mahyɛ wo din animuonyam daa nyinaa.
13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdɔ a wode dɔ me no so; woayi me afiri owuo amena 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, ahomasofoɔ ato ahyɛ me so; basabasayɛfoɔ kuo repɛ 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, Ao Awurade, woyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ Onyankopɔn, wo bo kyɛre fu, na wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ dɔɔso.
16 Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.
Dane 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 nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, na mʼatamfoɔ nhunu na wɔn anim ngu ase na wo Ao Awurade, wo na woaboa me akyekye me werɛ.
