< Nnwom 28 >

1 Dawid dwom. Wo na misu frɛ wo, Awurade me Botan; nsiw wʼaso wɔ me ho. Sɛ woyɛ komm a, mɛyɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔasian kɔ amoa mu no.
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2 Tie me mmɔborɔsu bere a mefrɛ wo apɛ mmoa, bere a mema me nsa so kyerɛ wo Tenabea Kronkron hɔ.
Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3 Mfa me mfra amumɔyɛfo mu ntwe me nkɔ, mfa me nka wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne no ho. Wɔne wɔn yɔnkonom kasa fɛfɛ, nanso wɔde ɔtan sie wɔn koma mu.
Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4 Twe wɔn aso wɔ nea wɔayɛ no so; wɔn adwuma bɔne no so; tua nea wɔde wɔn nsa ayɛ so ka na fa nea ɛfata wɔn san bra wɔn so.
Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5 Sɛ wommu nea Awurade ayɛ ne nea ɔde ne nsa ayɛ no nti ɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase na ɔremma wɔnnsɔre bio.
For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6 Ayeyi nka Awurade, efisɛ watie me mmɔborɔsu.
Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7 Awurade ne mʼahoɔden ne me nkatabo me koma wɔ ne mu ahotoso, na ɔboa me. Me koma di ahurusi na mede dwonto bɛda no ase.
The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8 Awurade yɛ ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfo; ne nkwagye nsraban ma nea wɔasra no ngo.
The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9 Gye wo nkurɔfo na hyira wʼagyapade; yɛ wɔn hwɛfo, na wo ne wɔn nnantew afebɔɔ.
Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
