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.
For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.
Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?
all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?
4 San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.
Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.
For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa, na me nusu fɔw me sumii.
I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.
7 Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.
My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
