< Psalms 13 >
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?
Dawid dwom. Awurade enkosi da bɛn? Wo werɛ befi me afebɔɔ ana? Enkosi da bɛn na wode wʼanim behintaw me?
2 How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Enkosi da bɛn na mene mʼadwennwene bedi aperepere na awerɛhow ahyɛ me koma mu daa? Mʼatamfo nni me so nkonim nkosi da bɛn?
3 Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.
Twa wʼani hwɛ me na bua me, Awurade, me Nyankopɔn. Ma mʼani so nyɛ hann, na manna owu nna.
4 Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.
Me tamfo bɛka se, “Madi ne so nkonim.” Na mʼahohiahiafo bedi ahurusi bere a mahwe ase.
5 But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
Nanso mede me ho to wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no so; me koma di ahurusi wɔ wo nkwagye mu.
6 I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.
Mɛto dwom ama Awurade, efisɛ ɔne me adi no yiye. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no.
