Psalms 71
1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Awurade, wo mu na maguan ahintaw; mma mʼanim ngu ase da.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me.
Wo trenee no nti, yi me na gye me; tie me na gye me nkwa.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
Yɛ me nkwagye botan, faako a metumi akɔ daa; hyɛ ma wommegye me nkwa, na wone me botan ne mʼabandennen.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Me Nyankopɔn, gye me fi amumɔyɛfo nsam, gye me fi nnebɔneyɛfo ne atirimɔdenfo nsam.
5 For thou [art] my hope, O LORD God: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
Na woayɛ mʼanidaso, Asafo Awurade, mʼahotoso fi me mmabun bere mu.
6 By thee have I been sustained from my birth: thou art he that brought me into life: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
Mede me ho ato wo so fi awo mu; wo na wuyii me fii me na yafunu mu. Mɛkamfo wo daa.
7 I am as a wonder to many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
Mayɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ama bebree, nanso wo ne me guankɔbea dennen.
8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honor all the day.
Wo nkamfo ahyɛ mʼanom ma, mekamfo wʼanuonyam da mu nyinaa.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Ntow me nkyene bere a mabɔ akwakoraa; mʼahoɔden sa wɔ me mu a, nnyaw me.
10 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
Efisɛ mʼatamfo kasa tia me wɔn a wɔtwɛn sɛ wobekum me no bɔ mu pam me ti so.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him].
Wɔka se, “Onyankopɔn agyaw no mu; momma yentiw no na yɛnkyere no, na obiara nni hɔ a obegye no.”
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Me Nyankopɔn, mfi me nkyɛn nkɔ akyiri; Onyankopɔn, yɛ ntɛm bɛboa me.
13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
Ma wɔn a wɔbɔ me sobo no nsɛe wɔ animguase mu; wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wopira me no ma ahohora ne animguase nkata wɔn so.
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Nanso me de, menya anidaso daa; mɛkɔ so akamfo wo.
15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Mɛka wo trenee ho asɛm, ne wo nkwagye da mu nyinaa, nanso minnim ano.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
Otumfo Awurade, mɛba abɛpae mu aka wo nnwuma akɛse no; mɛpae mu aka wo trenee, wo nko ara de no, akyerɛ.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Onyankopɔn, efi me mmabun bere na wokyerɛkyerɛɛ me, na ebesi nnɛ yi meka wʼanwonwade a woayɛ kyerɛ.
18 Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
Mpo sɛ mebɔ akwakoraa na mifuw dwen a, Onyankopɔn, nnyaw me, kosi sɛ mɛka wo tumi ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma, ne wo kɛseyɛ akyerɛ wɔn a wɔbɛba nyinaa.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like to thee!
Onyankopɔn, wo trenee du ɔsorosoro, wo a woayɛ nneɛma akɛse. Onyankopɔn, hena na ɔte sɛ wo?
20 [Thou], who hast shown me great and severe troubles, wilt revive me again, and wilt bring me again from the depths of the earth.
Mmom woama mahu ɔhaw bebree a ɛyɛ yaw; nanso wobɛma me nkwa bio; na wubeyi me bio, afi asase yam.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Wobɛhyɛ me anuonyam bebree na woakyekye me werɛ bio.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
Mede sanku bɛkamfo wo me Nyankopɔn, wo trenee nti mɛto wʼayeyi dwom wɔ sankuten so, Israel Kronkronni.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Mʼanofafa de anigye bɛteɛ mu bere a meto dwom kamfo wo, me a woagye me no.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
Me tɛkrɛma bɛka wo trenee nnwuma da mu nyinaa, efisɛ wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔhaw me no kɔ animguase ne basaayɛ mu.
