Nnwom 6
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ ɔmfa sankuhama nto wɔ Seminit nne so. Dawid dwom. Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.” O Lord, correct me not in thy anger, and chastise me not in thy wrath.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for I am withering away; heal me, O Lord; for my bones are terrified.
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?
And my soul is greatly terrified; but thou, O Lord, how long yet—?
4 San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: help me for the sake of thy kindness.
For in death men do not remember thee: in the nether world, who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa, na me nusu fɔw me sumii.
I am weary with my sighing; I flood every night my bed; With my tears I moisten my couch.
7 Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.
My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my assailants.
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Depart from me, all ye workers of wickedness; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will accept my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
Ashamed and greatly terrified shall become all my enemies; they will turn round, and be made ashamed in a moment.
