1 Dawid dwom. Wo mu, Awurade na manya guankɔbea; mma mʼanim ngu ase; fi wo trenee mu gye me.
To victorie, the salm of Dauid. Lord, Y hopide in thee, be Y not schent with outen ende; delyuere thou me in thi riytfulnesse.
2 Yɛ aso ma me, bra ntɛm begye me; yɛ me bammɔ botan, aban a mʼatamfo nsa renka me.
Bouwe doun thin eere to me; haaste thou to delyuere me. Be thou to me in to God defendere, and in to an hows of refuyt; that thou make me saaf.
3 Sɛ woyɛ me botan ne mʼaban nti, wo din nti di mʼanim na kyerɛ me kwan.
For thou art my strengthe and my refuyt; and for thi name thou schalt lede me forth, and schalt nurische me.
4 Gye me fi afiri a wɔasum me no mu, efisɛ wo ne me guankɔbea.
Thou schalt lede me out of the snare, which thei hidden to me; for thou art my defendere.
5 Wo nsam na mede me kra hyɛ; gye me bio, Awurade, Onyankopɔn nokwafo.
I bitake my spirit in to thin hondis; Lord God of treuthe, thou hast ayen bouyt me.
6 Mikyi wɔn a wɔsom abosom huhuw; mede me ho to Awurade so.
Thou hatist hem that kepen vanytees superfluli.
7 Mʼani begye na madi ahurusi wɔ wo dɔ mu, efisɛ wuhu mʼamanehunu, na wunim me kra mu haw.
Forsothe Y hopide in the Lord; Y schal haue fulli ioie, and schal be glad in thi merci. For thou byheldist my mekenesse; thou sauedist my lijf fro nedis.
8 Womfaa me nhyɛɛ ɔtamfo no nsa mmom wode me nan asisi petee mu.
And thou closidist not me togidere withynne the hondis of the enemy; thou hast sett my feet in a large place.
9 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ me ho yeraw me; awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ kusuu ɔyaw ama me kra ne me honam ayɛ mmerɛw.
Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y am troblid; myn iye is troblid in ire, my soule and my wombe `ben troblid.
10 Ɔyawdi retew me nkwa so, na abooboo tew me mfe so; ɔhaw nti mʼahoɔden kɔ fam, na me nnompe nso ahodwow.
For whi my lijf failide in sorewe; and my yeeris in weilynges. Mi vertu is maad feble in pouert; and my boonys ben disturblid.
11 Mʼatamfo nyinaa nti, mayɛ ahohora wɔ me nnamfonom mu; nnipa a wonim me suro me, na wɔn a wohu me mmɔnten so guan.
Ouer alle myn enemyes Y am maad schenship greetli to my neiyboris; and drede to my knowun. Thei that sien me with outforth, fledden fro me; Y am youun to foryetyng,
12 Obiara werɛ afi me te sɛ nea mawu; mayɛ sɛ kuku a abɔ.
as a deed man fro herte. I am maad as a lorun vessel;
13 Mete asomsɛm dodow a wɔka ahunahuna atwa me ho ahyia. Wɔrepam me ti so, na wɔbɔ pɔw sɛ wobekum me.
for Y herde dispisyng of many men dwellynge in cumpas. In that thing the while thei camen togidere ayens me; thei counceliden to take my lijf.
14 Nanso mede me ho ato wo so, Awurade; meka se, “Woyɛ me Nyankopɔn.”
But, Lord, Y hopide in thee; Y seide, Thou art my God; my tymes ben in thin hondis.
15 Me mmere wɔ wo nsam gye me fi mʼatamfo ne wɔn a wɔtaa me no nsam.
Delyuer thou me fro the hondis of mynen enemyes; and fro hem that pursuen me.
16 Tew wʼanim kyerɛ wo somfo; gye me wɔ wo dɔ a enni huammɔ no mu.
Make thou cleer thi face on thi seruaunt; Lord, make thou me saaf in thi merci;
17 Mma mʼanim ngu ase, Awurade, efisɛ masu afrɛ wo; mmom, ma amumɔyɛfo anim ngu ase na wɔnna wɔn nna mu komm. (Sheol h7585)
be Y not schent, for Y inwardli clepide thee. Unpitouse men be aschamed, and be led forth in to helle; (Sheol h7585)
18 Mua atorofo ano, efisɛ wɔde ahantan ne animtiaabu kasa tia atreneefo.
gileful lippys be maad doumbe. That speken wickidnesse ayens a iust man; in pride, and in mysusyng.
19 Wo papayɛ dɔɔso, ɛno na woakora ama wɔn a wosuro wo no ɛno na wode ma wɔn a woguan toa wo no wɔ nnipa anim.
Lord, the multitude of thi swetnesse is ful greet; which thou hast hid to men dredynge thee. Thou hast maad a perfit thing to hem, that hopen in thee; in the siyt of the sones of men.
20 Wode wɔn sie wʼanim bammɔ mu fi nnipa nsusuwii bɔne ho; wo tenabea hɔ na wode wɔn sie dwoodwoo fi tɛkrɛma a ɛbɔ sobo ho.
Thou schalt hide hem in the priuyte of thi face; fro disturblyng of men. Thou schalt defende hem in thi tabernacle; fro ayenseiyng of tungis.
21 Ayeyi nka Awurade! Sɛ wayi ne dɔ nwonwaso akyerɛ me bere a na mewɔ kuropɔn a atamfo atwa ho ahyia no mu no.
Blessid be the Lord; for he hath maad wondurful his merci to me in a strengthid citee.
22 Mebɔɔ huboa no mekae se: “Woayi wʼani afi me so!” Nanso wotee me mmɔborɔsu bere a mekotow srɛɛ wo no.
Forsothe Y seide in the passyng of my soule; Y am cast out fro the face of thin iyen. Therfor thou herdist the vois of my preier; while Y criede to thee.
23 Monnɔ Awurade mo a moyɛ nʼahotewfo nyinaa! Awurade kora wɔn a wodi nokware so, na ahomasofo de, otua wɔn ka pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Alle ye hooli men of the Lord, loue hym; for the Lord schal seke treuthe, and he schal yelde plenteuousli to hem that doen pride.
24 Monyɛ den na momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam, mo a mowɔ anidaso wɔ Awurade mu nyinaa.
Alle ye that hopen in the Lord, do manli; and youre herte be coumfortid.
