Nnwom 5
1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, yɛ aso ma me nsɛm na dwen mʼapinisi ho.
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my (meditation)
2 Tie me mmoa ho sufrɛ, me Hene ne me Nyankopɔn, efisɛ wo na mebɔ wo mpae.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3 Awurade, wote me nne anɔpa; anɔpa, mede mʼadesrɛ ba wʼanim na mede anidaso twɛn.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.
4 Wonyɛ Onyankopɔn a wʼani gye bɔne ho; na amumɔyɛfo rentumi ne wo ntena.
For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 Ahantanfo rentumi nnyina wʼanim; wukyi wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Wosɛe wɔn a wɔka atosɛm; Awurade kyi mogyapɛfo ne asisifo.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7 Nanso me, wo mmɔborɔhunu bebrebe nti, mɛba wo fi; na nidi mu na mɛkotow akyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no.
But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Awurade kyerɛ me kwan wɔ wo trenee mu mʼatamfo nti, bɔ wo kwan tee wɔ mʼanim.
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9 Wɔn anom asɛm baako mpo nyɛ nokware; ɔsɛe ahyɛ wɔn koma ma. Wɔn menewa yɛ ɔda a so abue wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma ka nnaadaasɛm.
For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Onyankopɔn, bu wɔn fɔ! Ma wɔn pɔw bɔne nyɛ wɔn asehwe. Pam wɔn; esiane wɔn bɔne dodow no nti, efisɛ wɔasɔre atia wo.
Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11 Nanso ma wɔn a woguan ba wo nkyɛn no ani nnye; ma wɔmfa anigye nto dwom daa. Trɛw wo bammɔ mu wɔ wɔn so, na wɔn a wɔdɔ wo din no ma wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Awurade, ampa ara, wuhyira atreneefo; na wode wʼayamye twa wɔn ho hyia sɛ nkatabo. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ ɔmfa sankuhama nto wɔ Seminit nne so.
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.
