Psalms 59
1 To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not,' by David. — A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.
Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Nsɛe No” sanku nne so. Dawid “miktam” dwom. Ɔtoo no bere a Saulo soma kɔwɛn Dawid fi sɛ wonkokum no no. Ao, Onyankopɔn, gye me fi mʼatamfo nsam; bɔ me ho ban fi wɔn a wɔtaa me no ho.
2 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
Gye me fi amumɔyɛfo nsam. Gye me nkwa fi mogyapɛfo nsam.
3 For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
Hwɛ sɛnea wɔatɛw rehwehwɛ me akum me! Nnipa a wɔn ho yɛ hu bɔ pɔw bɔne tia me a emfi me mfomso anaa bɔne bi, Awurade.
4 Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
Menyɛɛ mfomso bi, nanso wɔayɛ krado sɛ wɔbɛtow ahyɛ me so. Sɔre begye me; hwɛ mʼamanehunu!
5 And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. (Selah)
Wo, Awurade Nyankopɔn, Israel Nyankopɔn, ma wo ho so na twe amanaman no nyinaa aso; nhu amumɔyɛfo nkontompofo no mmɔbɔ.
6 They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
Wɔsan ba anwummere, wɔbobɔ mu sɛ akraman, na wokyinkyin kuropɔn no mu.
7 Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for 'Who heareth?'
Hwɛ nea wɔfe fi wɔn anom, wɔn anofafa mu nsɛm ano yɛ nnam sɛ mfoa, na wosusuw se: “Hena na ɔbɛte yɛn nka?”
8 And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
Nanso wo Awurade, woserew wɔn; wudi saa aman no nyinaa ho fɛw.
9 O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower — the God of my kindness.
Wone mʼAhoɔden, mehwɛ wo kwan; wo, Onyankopɔn, ne mʼabandennen,
10 God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
me Nyankopɔn a metumi atweri no. Onyankopɔn bedi mʼanim na ɔbɛma mahwɛ wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora no haw.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Nanso nkum wɔn, Awurade, yɛn nkatabo, na me nkurɔfo werɛ amfi wɔn. Wo tumi mu no tutu wɔn ase, na brɛ wɔn ase.
12 The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
Bɔne a efi wɔn anom, ne wɔn ano nsɛm nti ma wɔn ahomaso nkyekyere wɔn. Abususɛm a wɔka ne atoro a wotwa nti,
13 Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. (Selah)
sɛe wɔn wɔ abufuwhyew mu, kosi sɛ wɔn ase bɛtɔre. Afei ɛbɛma asase so mmaa nyinaa ahu sɛ Onyankopɔn di Yakob so.
14 And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And they go round about the city.
Wɔsan ba anwummere, wɔbobɔ mu sɛ akraman, na wokyinkyin kuropɔn no mu.
15 They — they wander for food, If they are not satisfied — then they murmur.
Wokyinkyin pɛ aduan na sɛ wɔammee a, wosu bobɔ mu.
16 And I — I sing [of] Thy strength, And I sing at morn [of] Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge for me in a day of adversity.
Nanso mɛto wʼahoɔden ho dwom, mɛto wʼadɔe ho dwom anɔpa; efisɛ woyɛ mʼabandennen, me guankɔbea wɔ ahohia mmere mu.
17 O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God [is] my tower, the God of my kindness!
Ao mʼAhoɔden, mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo; wo, Onyankopɔn, ne mʼabandennen, me Nyankopɔn a ɔyɛ ɔdɔ. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Susan Edut.”
