Psalms 36
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi da mʼakoma so a ɛfa omumuyɛfoɔ mmarato ho. Wɔnnsuro Onyankopɔn.
2 For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
Na ɔno ankasa ani so no, ɔdaadaa ne ho dodo enti mma ɔnhunu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
3 His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimuɔden ne nnaadaa; ɔnnim nyansa bio, na wayɛ papa.
4 While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a, ɔbɔ pɔ bɔne; na ɔgyaa ne ho ma bɔne ɛkwan na ɔmpo deɛ ɛnyɛ.
5 Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
Awurade, wʼadɔeɛ duru sorosoro wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem tɔnn.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
Wo tenenee te sɛ mmepɔ akɛseɛ. Wʼatɛntenenee mu dɔ sɛ ɛpo bunu. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
7 How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
Wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛseɛ ne nketewa nya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.
8 They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
Wɔdi deɛ abu soɔ wɔ wo fie woma wɔnom firi wʼanika asutene no mu.
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asutire wɔ; wo hann mu na yɛhunu hann.
10 Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wɔnim wo, ma wo tenenee ntena wɔn a wɔtene akoma mu.
11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumuyɛfoɔ nsa nnsunsum me.
12 Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
Hwɛ sɛdeɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
