Psalms 86

1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.

Dawid mpaebɔ. Awurade, tie me na gye me so, efisɛ meyɛ ohiani ne mmɔborɔni.

2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Bɔ me nkwa ho ban, efisɛ mede me ho ama wo. Wo ne me Nyankopɔn, gye wʼakoa a ɔde ne ho to wo so.

3 Be merciful to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily.

Awurade, hu me mmɔbɔ, na misu frɛ wo daa nyinaa.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

Ma wʼakoa ani nnye, na wo Awurade, wo nkyɛn na mema me kra so ba.

5 For thou, LORD, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.

Awurade, wuye na wode bɔne kyɛ, wowɔ ɔdɔ mmoroso ma wɔn a wosu frɛ wo nyinaa.

6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

Awurade, tie me mpaebɔ; tie me mmɔborɔsu.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Mɛfrɛ wo mʼahohia da mu, na wubegye me so.

8 Among the gods [there is] none like thee, O LORD; neither [are there any works] like thy works.

Awurade, onyame bi nni hɔ a ɔte sɛ wo; na wɔn nnwuma biara nto wo de.

9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD; and shall glorify thy name.

Awurade, aman a woakyekyere nyinaa bɛba abɛsom wo wɔ wʼanim; wɔbɛba abɛhyɛ wo din anuonyam.

10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone.

Woyɛ ɔkɛse na woyɛ anwonwa nnwuma; wo nko ara ne Onyankopɔn.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

Awurade, kyerɛ me wʼakwan, na mɛnantew wo nokware mu; ma memfa me koma nyinaa mma wo na masuro wo din.

12 I will praise thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

Mede me koma nyinaa meyi wo ayɛ, Awurade me Nyankopɔn na mahyɛ wo din anuonyam daa nyinaa.

13 For great [is] thy mercy towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

Efisɛ ɔdɔ a wode dɔ me no so; woayi me afi owu amoa mu tɔnn. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.

Ao, Onyankopɔn, ahomasofo atow ahyɛ me so; basabasayɛfo kuw rehwehwɛ me akum me, nnipa a wɔmmfa wo nyɛ hwee no.

15 But thou, O LORD, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.

Nanso wo, Awurade, woyɛ mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔdomfo Nyankopɔn, wo bo kyɛ fuw, na wʼadɔe ne wo nokware dɔɔso.

16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

Dan wʼani hwɛ me na dom me; fa wʼahoɔden ma wʼakoa na gye wʼafenaa babarima nkwa.

17 Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Ma me wo papayɛ ho nsɛnkyerɛnne, na mʼatamfo nhu na wɔn anim ngu ase na wo, Awurade, wo na woaboa me akyekye me werɛ.
