Psalms 94
1 God of vengeance—YHWH! God of vengeance, shine forth.
Awurade, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, Onyankopɔn a wotɔ werɛ, hyerɛn.
2 Be lifted up, judging the earth, Send back a repayment on the proud.
Sɔre, Ao wo a woyɛ asase so ɔtemmufoɔ, tua ahantanfoɔ ka sɛdeɛ ɛfata wɔn.
3 Until when do the wicked, O YHWH—Until when do the wicked exult?
Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, amumuyɛfoɔ nnye wɔn ani nkɔsi da bɛn?
4 They utter—they speak arrogance, All working iniquity boast [about] themselves.
Wɔkasa ahantan so; ahohoahoa ahyɛ abɔnefoɔ nyinaa ma.
5 Your people, O YHWH, they bruise, And they afflict Your inheritance.
Ao Awurade, wɔdwerɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ; wɔhyɛ wʼagyapadeɛ so.
6 They slay widow and sojourner, And they murder fatherless ones.
Wɔkunkumm akunafoɔ ne amanfrafoɔ; na wɔdi nwisiaa awu.
7 And they say, “YAH does not see, And the God of Jacob does not consider.”
Wɔka sɛ, “Awurade nhunu, Yakob Onyankopɔn ayi nʼani.”
8 Consider, you brutish among the people, And you foolish, when do you act wisely?
Monhwɛ yie, mo agyimifoɔ a mowɔ nnipa no mu; nkwaseafoɔ, da bɛn na mobɛhunu nyansa?
9 He who plants the ear, does He not hear? He who forms the eye, does He not see?
Deɛ ɔbɔɔ aso no, ɔrente asɛm anaa? Deɛ ɔyɛɛ ani no, ɔrenhunu adeɛ anaa?
10 He who is instructing nations, does He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] YHWH.
Deɛ ɔtenetene aman so no rentwe aso anaa? Deɛ ɔkyerɛkyerɛ onipa no nnim nyansa anaa?
11 He knows the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
Awurade nim onipa nsusuiɛ; ɔnim sɛ ɛnkɔsi hwee.
12 O the blessedness of the man Whom You instruct, O YAH, And teach him out of Your law,
Ao Awurade, nhyira ne onipa a wotenetene ne so, onipa a wokyerɛ no wo mmara no;
13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is dug for the wicked.
Woma wɔn ɔhome firi amanehunu nna mu, kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛtu amena ama amumuyɛfoɔ.
14 For YHWH does not leave His people, And does not forsake His inheritance.
Awurade rempo ne nkurɔfoɔ; na ɔrennya nʼagyapadeɛ hɔ da.
15 For judgment turns back to righteousness, And after it all the upright of heart.
Atemmuo bɛgyina teneneeyɛ so bio, na wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ nyinaa bɛdi so.
16 Who rises up for me with evildoers? Who stations himself for me with workers of iniquity?
Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia amumuyɛfoɔ ama me? Hwan na ɔbɛsɔre atia abɔnefoɔ ama me?
17 Unless YHWH [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
Sɛ Awurade ammoa me a, anka mekɔɔ owuo kommyɛ mu ntɛm so.
18 If I have said, “My foot has slipped,” Your kindness, O YHWH, supports me.
Ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, “Menan rewatiri” no, Ao Awurade, wo dɔ no sɔɔ me mu.
19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
Ɛberɛ a me dadwene dɔɔso no, wʼawerɛkyekye maa me kra abotɔyam.
20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] You? A framer of perverseness by statute?
Ɔhene a porɔeɛ ahyɛ no ma no ne wo wɔ ayɔnkofa anaa? Wʼani gye ahennie a ɛde amanehunu ba ho anaa?
21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And declare innocent blood wicked.
Awudifoɔ bɔ mu tia ateneneefoɔ na wɔn a wɔdi bem no, wɔbu wɔn kumfɔ.
22 And YHWH is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock—my refuge,
Nanso Awurade yɛ mʼaban; na me Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔbotan a ne mu na menya ahintaeɛ.
23 And He turns back their iniquity on them, And in their wickedness cuts them off; Our God YHWH cuts them off!
Ɔbɛtua wɔn nnebɔne no so ka na wɔn amumuyɛ enti, wasɛe wɔn; Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe wɔn.
