Psalms 25
1 Yahweh, my God, I give myself to you.
Dawid dwom. Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, wo mu na mede me werɛ hyɛ.
2 I trust in you. Do not allow my enemies [to defeat me], with the result that I would be ashamed/disgraced. Do not allow my enemies to defeat/conquer me, with the result that they would rejoice.
Wo so, me Nyankopɔn, na mede me ho to, mma mʼanim ngu ase, na mma mʼatamfo nso nni me so nkonim.
3 Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced. Cause those who (act treacherously toward/try to deceive) others to be disappointed/disgraced.
Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wo so no mu biara anim rengu ase da, mmom, wɔn a wɔyɛ kɔntɔnkye kwa no anim begu ase.
4 Yahweh, show me the way that I should (conduct my life/live as you want me to), teach me how to act in the manner that you want me to act/behave.
Kyerɛ me wʼakwan, Awurade, na minhu wʼatempɔn.
5 Teach me to conduct my life [by obeying] your truth because you are my God, the one who saves me. All the time I trust in you.
Fa wo nokware no so kyerɛkyerɛ me, efisɛ woyɛ Onyankopɔn, me Gyefo, na mʼani da wo so daa nyinaa.
6 Yahweh, do not forget how you have acted mercifully to me and have faithfully loved me; that is the way that you have acted toward me from long ago.
Kae, Awurade, wo mmɔborɔhunu ne wo dɔ kɛse a ɛwɔ hɔ fi tete no.
7 Forgive me for all the sinful things I did and the ways that I rebelled against you when I was young; I ask this because you faithfully love your people and do good things for them, Yahweh, do not forget me!
Nkae me mmabun bere mu bɔne ne mʼatuatew akwan; kae me sɛnea wʼadɔe te, Awurade, efisɛ wuye.
8 Yahweh is good and fair/just; therefore he shows sinners (how they should conduct their lives/how to live as you want them to).
Awurade ye na ɔteɛ; enti ɔkyerɛkyerɛ nnebɔneyɛfo nʼakwan.
9 He shows humble people what is right for them to do and teaches them what he wants [them to do].
Ɔde ahobrɛasefo fa ɔkwan pa so na ɔkyerɛ wɔn nʼapɛde.
10 He always faithfully loves and does what he has promised to those who keep his agreement with them and who do what he requires.
Awurade akwan nyinaa yɛ ɔdɔ ne nokwaredi ma wɔn a wodi nʼapam mu ahyɛde so.
11 Yahweh, forgive me for all my sins, which are many, in order that I may honor you [MTY].

12 To all those who revere you [RHQ], you show them the (right way to conduct their lives/things that they should do).
Enti hena ne onipa a osuro Awurade? Ɔbɛkyerɛ no ɔkwan a wabɔ ama no.

Obedi yiye wɔ ne nkwanna mu, na nʼasefo afa asase no sɛ wɔn agyapade.
14 Yahweh is a friend of those who have an awesome respect for him, and he teaches them the agreement that he [made with them].

15 I always ask [MTY] Yahweh to help me, and he rescues me from danger [MET].
Mʼani da Awurade so daa, efisɛ ɔno nko ara na obeyi mʼanan afi afiri mu.
