Psalms 56
1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Aburuburu a osi Akyirikyiri Odum so,” nne so. 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 would daily swallow [me] up: for [they are] many that fight against me, O thou Most High.
Wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora taa me da mu nyinaa; wɔn a wɔma wɔn ho so tia me no dɔɔso.
3 In the time when I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
Sɛ mebɔ hu a, mede me ho bɛto wo so.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so, na merensuro. Dɛn na onipa desani betumi ayɛ me?
5 Every day they wrest 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 assemble themselves, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
Wɔbɔ pɔw, wɔtetɛw, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntu, susuw sɛ wobekum me.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity; in [thy] anger cast down the people, O God.
Wɔn amumɔyɛ nti mma wɔmmfa wɔn ho nni; Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuw mu.
8 Thou numberest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
Kyerɛw me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nusu wɔ wo nhoma mmobɔwee no mu. Enni nea woakyerɛw ato hɔ no mu ana?
9 When I cry [to thee], then shall my enemies turn back: this I know; for 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 will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.
Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, Awurade a mekamfo nʼasɛm no,
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do to me.
mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so; na merensuro. Dɛn na ɔdesani betumi ayɛ me?
12 Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises to thee.
Me Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ bɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔre bɛbrɛ wo.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt thou] not [deliver] my feet from falling, 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.
