Nnwom 57
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Mma Wɔnnsɛe No” nne so. Dawid dwom a ɔtoo bere a oguan fii Saulo nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔbodan no mu. Hu me mmɔbɔ, me Onyankopɔn, hu me mmɔbɔ, na wo mu na me kra nya guankɔbea. Wo ntaban nwini ase na mɛpɛ guankɔbea kosi sɛ amanehunu no betwa mu.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over.
2 Misu frɛ Onyankopɔn, Ɔsorosoroni no; Onyankopɔn a ɔma ne pɛ ba mu wɔ me ho.
I will cry to God most high; to God that performs all things for me.
3 Ɔsoma fi ɔsoro hɔ begye me nkwa, ɔka wɔn a wɔtaa me anibere so no anim; Onyankopɔn soma ne dɔ ne ne nokware.
He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 Gyata atwa me ho ahyia; meda mmoa a wɔwe nam amono mu, nnipa a wɔn se te sɛ mpeaw ne mmɛmma na wɔn tɛkrɛma te sɛ afoa a ɛyɛ nnam.
My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be above all the earth.
6 Wɔtrɛw asau mu de sum mʼanan afiri, ahohiahia brɛɛ me ase. Wotuu amoa wɔ me kwan mu, nanso wɔn ankasa akɔtotɔ mu.
They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have dig a pit before me, into the middle whereof they are fallen themselves. (Selah)
7 Ao, Onyankopɔn, me koma agyina pintinn, me koma yɛ pintinn; mɛto dwom na mayi wo ayɛ.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Me kra nyan! Sanku ne bɛnta, munnyan! Me nso menyan anɔpahema.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman no mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa mu.
I will praise you, O Lord, among the people: I will sing to you among the nations.
10 Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
For your mercy is great to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
11 Ao, Onyankopɔn, wɔmma wo so mmoro ɔsoro; ma wʼanuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so.
Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens: let your glory be above all the earth.
