Nnwom 62

1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. De ma Yedutun. Dawid dwom. Me kra wɔ ahomegye wɔ Onyankopɔn nko ara mu; me nkwagye fi ne nkyɛn.

For the Leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Only for God doth my soul wait in stillness; from Him cometh my salvation.

2 Ampa, ɔyɛ me botan ne me nkwagye; ɔyɛ mʼabandennen, hwee renhinhim me da.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be greatly moved.

3 Mobɛkɔ so ahyɛ onipa so akosi da bɛn, mo nyinaa besum me ahwe fam ana? Ɔfasu a akyea yi, ban a ɛrebu yi?

How long will ye set upon a man, that ye may slay him, all of you, as a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

4 Ampa, wɔayɛ adwene se wobetu no afi ne dibea a ɛkorɔn no so; wɔn ani gye atorodi ho. Wɔde wɔn ano hyira na wɔn koma mu de, wɔdome.

They only devise to thrust him down from his height, delighting in lies; they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Yiw me kra, gye wʼahome wɔ Onyankopɔn nko ara mu; na ne mu na mʼanidaso wɔ.

Only for God wait thou in stillness, my soul; for from Him cometh my hope.

6 Ampa, ɔyɛ me botan ne me nkwagye; ɔyɛ mʼabandennen, hwee renhinhim me.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my high tower, I shall not be moved.

7 Me nkwagye ne mʼanuonyam gyina Onyankopɔn so; ɔyɛ me botan a ɛkorɔn, ne me guankɔbea.

Upon God resteth my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Mo nnipa, momfa mo ho nto ne so daa; monka mo koma mu nsɛm nyinaa nkyerɛ no, efisɛ Onyankopɔn ne yɛn guankɔbea.

Trust in Him at all times, ye people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Nnipa nyinaa te sɛ home; akɛse ne nkumaa nyinaa nka hwee; sɛ wɔkari wɔn wɔ nsania so a, wɔnka hwee; wɔn nyinaa bɔ mu a wɔyɛ home nko.

Men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; if they be laid in the balances, they are together lighter than vanity.

10 Mommfa mo ho nto asisi so na monnhoahoa mo ho akorɔnne ho; ɛwɔ mu sɛ mo ahonya dɔɔso de, nanso mommfa mo koma nto so.

Trust not in oppression, and put not vain hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

11 Asɛm baako na Onyankopɔn aka, nsɛm abien na mate sɛ, wo, Onyankopɔn, na wowɔ ahoɔden,

God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this: that strength belongeth unto God;

12 na wo, Awurade, na woyɛ adɔe, ampa ara wubetua obiara ka sɛnea nʼadwuma te.

Also unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy; for Thou renderest to every man according to his work.
