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.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
2 Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdan mʼanuonyam ahohora? Enkosi da bɛn na mobɛdɔ nneɛma hunu na moadi ahoni ahuhuw akyi?
O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
3 Hu sɛ Awurade ayi nea ɔwɔ nyamesu ama ne ho; Awurade betie, sɛ misu mefrɛ no a.
But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear 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.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Mommɔ afɔre a ɛfata na momfa mo werɛ nhyɛ Awurade mu.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Nnipa bebree bisa se: “Hena na ɔde yiyeyɛ bɛbrɛ yɛn?” Awurade, ma wʼanim hann no nhyerɛn yɛn so.
There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.
7 Fa anigye mmoroso hyɛ me koma ma bere a wɔn aburow ne nsa foforo abu so no.
You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
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 both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
