Nnwom 30

1 Dwom a wɔto de buee Asɔredan no ano. Dawid dwom. Mɛma wo so, Awurade, efisɛ, woayi me afi bun mu na woamma mʼatamfo anserew me.

I will extol you, O LORD; for you have lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 Awurade me Nyankopɔn, misu frɛɛ wo sɛ boa me na wosaa me yare.

O LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

3 Awurade, wuyii me fii ɔda mu; wode me ho kyɛɛ me na woamma mankɔ amoa mu. (Sheol h7585)

O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Monto ayeyi nnwom mma Awurade; mo a moyɛ nʼahotewfo! Monkamfo ne din kronkron no.

Sing to the LORD, O you saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 Nʼabufuw nkyɛ, na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa; agyaadwotwa bɛwɔ hɔ anadwo, nanso ahosɛpɛw bɛba anɔpa.

For his anger endures but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 Metee nka sɛ mewɔ bammɔ no, mekae se, “Merenhinhim da.”

And in my prosperity I said, I shall 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 favor you have made my mountain to stand strong: you did hide your face, and I was troubled.

8 Wo, Awurade na mefrɛɛ wo; wo hɔ na misu mesrɛɛ mmɔborɔhunu se:

I cried to you, O LORD; and to the LORD I made supplication.

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, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth?

10 Tie me, Awurade, na hu me mmɔbɔ! Awurade, yɛ me boafo.”

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me: LORD, be you my helper.

11 Wodan mʼagyaadwotwa yɛɛ no asaw; wuyii mʼatweaatam fii me ho na wode anigye furaa me,

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 sɛ me koma bɛto nnwom ama wo na ɛrenyɛ komm. Awurade me Nyankopɔn, meyi wo ayɛ daa.

To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
