Nnwom 36
1 Awurade somfo Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi wɔ me koma mu a efi Onyankopɔn hɔ a ɛfa omumɔyɛfo mmarato ho. Onyankopɔn suro nni wɔn ani so.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Na ɔno ankasa ani so no ɔdaadaa no ho dodo, nti ɛmma onhu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
3 Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimɔden ne nnaadaa; onnim nyansa bio na wayɛ papa.
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
4 Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a ɔbɔ pɔw bɔne; na ogyaa ne ho ma bɔne kwan na ɔmpo nea enye.
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
5 Awurade, wʼadɔe du ɔsorosoro wo nokwaredi du wim tɔnn.
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Wo trenee te sɛ mmepɔw akɛse. Wʼatɛntrenee mu dɔ sɛ po bun. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 Wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛse ne nketewa nya guankɔbea wɔ wo ntaban nwini ase.
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
8 Wodi nea abu so wɔ wo fi, woma wɔnom fi wʼanika asuten no mu.
They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
9 Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asuti wɔ; wo hann mu na yehu hann.
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10 Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wonim wo, ma wo trenee ntena wɔn a wɔteɛ, koma mu.
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumɔyɛfo nsa nnsunsum me.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Hwɛ sɛnea nnebɔneyɛfo ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
