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 David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that 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, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimɔden ne nnaadaa; onnim nyansa bio na wayɛ papa.
The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, [and] 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 mischief upon 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.
Thy mercy, O LORD, [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 great mountains; thy judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou 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 excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust 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 shalt 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.
O continue thy lovingkindness 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 remove me.
12 Hwɛ sɛnea nnebɔneyɛfo ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
