Psalms 42
1 To the Overseer. — An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward Thee, O God.
Kora mma “maskil” dwom. Sɛdeɛ ɔforoteɛ pere hwehwɛ nsuwansuwa no, saa ara na me kra pere hwehwɛ wo, Ao Onyankopɔn.
2 My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?
Onyankopɔn ho sukɔm de me kra, Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no. Da bɛn na mɛtumi akɔhyia Onyankopɔn?
3 My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where [is] thy God?'
Me nisuo ayɛ mʼaduane awia ne anadwo, na da mu nyinaa nnipa bisa me sɛ: “Wo Onyankopɔn wɔ he?”
4 These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
Saa nneɛma yi na mekae ɛberɛ a mereka mʼakoma mu nsɛm; sɛdeɛ na medi asafokuo anim, na yɛde anigyeɛ nteateam ne aseda nnwom nante yuu bom kɔ Onyankopɔn fie wɔ afahyɛ da.
5 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance — My God!
Adɛn enti na woaboto, Ao me kra? Adɛn enti na woteetee wɔ me mu saa? Fa wo ho to Onyankopɔn so, na mɛkɔ so ayi no ayɛ, mʼAgyenkwa ne me Onyankopɔn.
6 In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.
Me kra aboto wɔ me mu enti mɛkae wo firi Yordan asase so, Hermon mmepɔ so, firi Bepɔ Misar so.
7 Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me.
Ebunu kɔ ebunu mu wɔ wo nsuo a ɛworo guo no nnyegyeeɛ mu; wʼasorɔkye nyinaa abu afa me so.
8 By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
Adekyeɛ mu Awurade kyerɛ nʼadɔeɛ; adesaeɛ mu ne dwom ba me nkyɛn. Mebɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔma me nkwa.
9 I say to God my rock, 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?
Mebisa Onyankopɔn me Botan sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo werɛ afiri me? Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ menantenante twa adwo, mʼatamfoɔ nhyɛsoɔ nti?”
10 With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where [is] thy God?'
Me nnompe te yea sɛ ɔdasani. Mʼahohiahiafoɔ ateeteeɛ enti, daa nyinaa wɔbisa me sɛ, “Wo Onyankopɔn wɔ he?”
11 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
Adɛn enti na woaboto, Ao me kra? Adɛn enti na woteetee wɔ me mu saa? Fa wo ho to Onyankopɔn so, na mɛkɔ so ayi no ayɛ, mʼAgyenkwa ne me Onyankopɔn.
