Psalms 41

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Nhyira ne onipa a mmɔborɔni asɛm ho hia no. Awurade gye no wɔ amanehunu berɛ mu.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Awurade bɛbɔ ne ho ban na wakora ne kra. Ɔbɛhyira no wɔ asase no so; ɔrennyaa no mma nʼatamfoɔ apɛdeɛ.

3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Awurade bɛhwɛ no wɔ ne yadeɛ mpa so na wagye no asi hɔ.

4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Mekaa sɛ, “Ao Awurade hunu me mmɔbɔ; sa me yadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ mayɛ bɔne atia wo.”

5 My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

Mʼatamfoɔ de adwene bɔne ka wɔ me ho sɛ: “Da bɛn na ɔbɛwu ama ne din ayera?”

6 And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

Ɛberɛ biara a obi ba me nkyɛn no, ɔka atorɔsɛm, na nʼakoma hɔre dinsɛeɛ; ɔfiri adi kɔ a, ɔde kɔdi nsekuro.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

Mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa keka asomusɛm fa me ho; wɔsusu bɔne ma me na wɔka sɛ:

8 An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.

“Yare bɔne bi abɔ no; ɔrensɔre mfiri deɛ ɔda hɔ bio.”

9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

Mpo me yɔnko pa ara a mede me ho too ne soɔ, deɛ me ne no too nsa didiiɛ no, asɔre atia me.

10 But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

Nanso wo, Awurade, hunu me mmɔbɔ; pagya me, na mentua wɔn so ka.

11 By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

Menim sɛ wʼani sɔ me, na me ɔtamfoɔ renni me so nkonim.

12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

Me nokorɛdie mu, wokura me mu na wode me gyina wʼanim afebɔɔ.

13 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.

Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ɛnnɛ ne daa nyinaa.
