Psalms 86
1 Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
Dawid mpaebɔ. Awurade, tie me na gye me so, efisɛ meyɛ ohiani ne mmɔborɔni.
2 Prevent me from dying now, because I (am loyal to/continue to believe in) you; save/rescue me, because I serve you and I trust in 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 Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
Awurade, hu me mmɔbɔ, na misu frɛ wo daa nyinaa.
4 Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
Ma wʼakoa ani nnye, na wo Awurade, wo nkyɛn na mema me kra so ba.
5 Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
Awurade, wuye na wode bɔne kyɛ, wowɔ ɔdɔ mmoroso ma wɔn a wosu frɛ wo nyinaa.
6 Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
Awurade, tie me mpaebɔ; tie me mmɔborɔsu.
7 When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
Mɛfrɛ wo mʼahohia da mu, na wubegye me so.
8 Lord, among all the gods [whom the heathen nations worship], there is no one like you; not one of them has done [the great things] that you have done.
Awurade, onyame bi nni hɔ a ɔte sɛ wo; na wɔn nnwuma biara nto wo de.
9 Lord, [some day, people from] all the nations that you have established will come and bow down in front of you and they will praise you [MTY].
Awurade, aman a woakyekyere nyinaa bɛba abɛsom wo wɔ wʼanim; wɔbɛba abɛhyɛ wo din anuonyam.
10 You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are God.
Woyɛ ɔkɛse na woyɛ anwonwa nnwuma; wo nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.
11 Yahweh, teach me what you want me to do in order that I may conduct my life according to what you say, which is true. Cause/Teach me to revere you.
Awurade, kyerɛ me wʼakwan, na mɛnantew wo nokware mu; ma memfa me koma nyinaa mma wo na masuro wo din.
12 Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
Mede me koma nyinaa meyi wo ayɛ, Awurade me Nyankopɔn na mahyɛ wo din anuonyam daa nyinaa.
13 You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Efisɛ ɔdɔ a wode dɔ me no so; woayi me afi owu amoa mu tɔnn. (Sheol h7585)
14 But God, proud men are [trying to] attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.
Ao, Onyankopɔn, ahomasofo atow ahyɛ me so; basabasayɛfo kuw rehwehwɛ me akum me, nnipa a wɔmmfa wo nyɛ hwee no.
15 But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
Nanso wo, Awurade, woyɛ mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔdomfo Nyankopɔn, wo bo kyɛ fuw, na wʼadɔe ne wo nokware dɔɔso.
16 Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you [faithfully] like my mother did.
Dan wʼani hwɛ me na dom me; fa wʼahoɔden ma wʼakoa na gye wʼafenaa babarima nkwa.
17 Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
Ma me wo papayɛ ho nsɛnkyerɛnne, na mʼatamfo nhu na wɔn anim ngu ase na wo, Awurade, wo na woaboa me akyekye me werɛ.
