Nnwom 36
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. 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.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, 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 he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3 Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimɔden ne nnaadaa; onnim nyansa bio na wayɛ papa.
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
4 Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a ɔbɔ pɔw bɔne; na ogyaa ne ho ma bɔne kwan na ɔmpo nea enye.
He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.
5 Awurade, wʼadɔe du ɔsorosoro wo nokwaredi du wim tɔnn.
Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
6 Wo trenee te sɛ mmepɔw akɛse. Wʼatɛntrenee mu dɔ sɛ po bun. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest 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 thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Wodi nea abu so wɔ wo fi, woma wɔnom fi wʼanika asuten no mu.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asuti wɔ; wo hann mu na yehu hann.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wonim wo, ma wo trenee ntena wɔn a wɔteɛ, koma mu.
Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;
11 Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumɔyɛfo nsa nnsunsum me.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Hwɛ sɛnea nnebɔneyɛfo ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
