Psalms 56
1 For the chief musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A psalm of David. A michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for men are attacking me! All the day long those who fight me press their assault.
Dawid dwom a ɔtoo bere a Filistifo kyeree no wɔ Gat no. Onyankopɔn, hu me mmɔbɔ na nnipa taa me anibere so; da mu nyinaa womia wɔn taa no mu.
2 My enemies trample me all day long; for there are many who arrogantly fight against me.
Wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora taa me da mu nyinaa; wɔn a wɔma wɔn ho so tia me no dɔɔso.
3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
Sɛ mebɔ hu a, mede me ho bɛto wo so.
4 In God, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man do to me?
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so, na merensuro. Dɛn na onipa desani betumi ayɛ me?
5 All the day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Da mu nyinaa wogye mʼano si bɔne; bere biara wɔbɔ pɔw sɛ wɔbɛsɛe me.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.
Wɔbɔ pɔw, wɔtetɛw, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntu, susuw sɛ wobekum me.
7 Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.
Wɔn amumɔyɛ nti mma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni; Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuw mu.
8 You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?
Kyerɛw me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nusu wɔ wo nhoma mmobɔwee no mu. Enni nea woakyerɛw ato hɔ no mu ana?
9 Then my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; this I know, that God is for me.
Sɛ mepɛ mmoa fi wo hɔ a, mʼatamfo bɛsan wɔn akyi. Eyi bɛma mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ mʼafa.
10 In God—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, Awurade a mekamfo nʼasɛm no,
11 in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?
mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so; na merensuro. Dɛn na ɔdesani betumi ayɛ me?
12 The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings to you.
Me Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ bɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔre bɛbrɛ wo.
13 For you have rescued my life from death; you have kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Efisɛ, woagye me afi owu mu, na mʼanan anhintiw, na matumi anantew Onyankopɔn anim wɔ nkwa hann no mu. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” nne so.
