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 chief musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith style. A psalm of David. Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.
Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am frail; heal me, Yahweh, for my bones are shaking.
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?
My soul also is very troubled. But you, Yahweh—how long will this continue?
4 San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.
Return, Yahweh! rescue me. Save me because of your covenant faithfulness!
For in death there is no remembrance of you. In Sheol who will give you 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 groaning. All night I drench my bed with tears; I wash my couch away with my tears.
7 Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.
My eyes grow dim from grief; they grow weak because of all my adversaries.
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Get away from me, all you who practice iniquity; for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
Yahweh has heard my appeal for mercy; Yahweh has accepted my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly troubled. They will turn back and be suddenly humiliated.
