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 ɔtoeɛ ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ kyeree no wɔ Gat no. Ao Onyankopɔn, hunu me mmɔbɔ na nnipa taa me anibereɛ so; da mu nyinaa, wɔmia mmirika a wɔtu wɔtaa me 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 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. Ɛdeɛn na onipa dasani bɛtumi ayɛ me?

5 All the day long they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

Ɛda mu nyinaa wɔgye mʼano si bɔne; ɛberɛ biara wɔbɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛteetee me.

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.

Wɔbɔ pɔ, na wɔtetɛ, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntuo, na wɔpere sɛ wɔbɛkum me.

7 Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.

Ɛkwan biara so, mma wɔmfa wɔn ho nni; Ao Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuo mu.

8 You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your book?

Twerɛ me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nisuo wɔ wo nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu. Ɛnni deɛ woatwerɛ ato hɔ no mu anaa?

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 firi wo hɔ a, mʼatamfoɔ bɛsane wɔn akyi. Yei bɛma mahunu 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. Ɛdeɛn na ɔdasani bɛtumi ayɛ me?

12 The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings to you.

Ao Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ ɛbɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔdeɛ 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.

Ɛfiri sɛ, woagye me afiri owuo mu, woamma me nan ansunti, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi anante Onyankopɔn anim wɔ nkwa hann mu. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ no. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Mma Wɔnsɛe No.”
