< Nnwom 43 >
1 Me Nyankopɔn, bu me bem, na ka mʼasɛm a etia ɔman a wonsuro wo no ma me; gye me fi nnaadaafo ne amumɔyɛfo nsam.
Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, You deliver me from a man of deceit and perverseness,
2 Woyɛ Onyankopɔn, mʼabandennen. Adɛn nti na woapo me? Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ menantenantew twa adwo mʼatamfo nhyɛso nti?
For you [are] the God of my strength. Why have You cast me off? Why do I go up and down mourning, In the oppression of an enemy?
3 Soma wo hann ne wo nokware ma wɔnkyerɛ me kwan; ma wɔmfa me mmra wo Bepɔw Kronkron no so, faako a wote no.
Send forth Your light and Your truth, They lead me, they bring me in, To Your holy hill, and to Your dwelling places.
4 Afei, mɛkɔ Onyankopɔn afɔremuka anim, mʼanigye ne mʼahosɛpɛw Nyankopɔn nkyɛn. Mede sanku beyi wo ayɛ, Onyankopɔn, me Nyankopɔn.
And I go to the altar of God, To God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank You with a harp, O God, my God.
5 Me kra, adɛn, na woabotow? Adɛn na woayɛ basaa wɔ me mu saa? Fa wo ho to Onyankopɔn so, na mɛkɔ so ayi no ayɛ, mʼAgyenkwa ne me Nyankopɔn. Dwom a wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
Why bow yourself, O my soul? And why are you troubled within me? Wait for God, for I still confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
