Nnwom 6
1 Dawid dwom. Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.
Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?
And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?
4 San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.
Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.
For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa, na me nusu fɔw me sumii.
I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.
7 Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.
My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
