Nnwom 4
1 Dawid dwom. Sɛ misu frɛ wo a, gye me so, me trenee Nyankopɔn. Ma me ɔhome wɔ mʼahohia mu; hu me mmɔbɔ na tie me mpaebɔ.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdan mʼanuonyam ahohora? Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdɔ nneɛma hunu na moadi ahoni ahuhuw akyi?
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 Hu sɛ Awurade ayi nea ɔwɔ nyamesu ama ne ho; Awurade betie, sɛ misu mefrɛ no a.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Sɛ mo bo fuw a, monnyɛ bɔne; sɛ modeda mo mpa so a, monyɛ komm na monhwehwɛ mo koma mu.
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Mommɔ afɔre a ɛfata na momfa mo werɛ nhyɛ Awurade mu.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Nnipa bebree bisa se: “Hena na ɔde yiyeyɛ bɛbrɛ yɛn?” Awurade, ma wʼanim hann no nhyerɛn yɛn so.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 Fa anigye mmoroso hyɛ me koma ma bere a wɔn aburow ne nsa foforo abu so no.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 Mɛtɔ hɔ, na mada asomdwoe mu, efisɛ wo nko ara, Awurade, na woma metena dwoodwoo. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ wɔmfa atɛntɛbɛn nto.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
