Nnwom 30
1 Dawid dwom. Mɛma wo so, Awurade, efisɛ, woayi me afi bun mu na woamma mʼatamfo anserew me.
A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
2 Awurade me Nyankopɔn, misu frɛɛ wo sɛ boa me na wosaa me yare.
O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. (Sheol h7585)
4 Monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade; mo a moyɛ nʼahotewfo! Monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
5 Nʼabufuw nkyɛ, na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa; agyaadwotwa bɛwɔ hɔ anadwo, nanso ahosɛpɛw bɛba anɔpa.
For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Metee nka sɛ mewɔ bammɔ no, mekae se, “Merenhinhim da.”
When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
7 Awurade, woyɛɛ me adom no womaa me bepɔw gyinaa pintinn na wode wʼanim hintaw me no, me koma tui.
Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
8 Wo, Awurade na mefrɛɛ wo; wo hɔ na misu mesrɛɛ mmɔborɔhunu se:
My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
9 “Mfaso bɛn na ɛwɔ me sɛe so, sɛ mɛkɔ amoa mu? Mfutuma beyi wo ayɛ ana? Ɛbɛpae mu aka wo nokwaredi ana?
What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
10 Tie me, Awurade, na hu me mmɔbɔ! Awurade, yɛ me boafo.”
Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
11 Wodan mʼagyaadwotwa yɛɛ no asaw; wuyii mʼatweaatam fii me ho na wode anigye furaa me,
By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
12 sɛ me koma bɛto nnwom ama wo na ɛrenyɛ komm. Awurade me Nyankopɔn, meyi wo ayɛ daa. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
