Nnwom 9
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Ɔba no wu”. Dawid dwom. Awurade, mefi me koma nyinaa mu ada wo ase. Mɛka wʼanwonwade no nyinaa.
To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
2 Mɛma mʼani agye na madi ahurusi wɔ wo mu. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din, Ɔsorosoroni.
I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
3 Mʼatamfo san wɔn akyi; wɔtetew hwe, na wowuwu wɔ wʼanim.
For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
4 Woadi mʼasɛm ama me, na menya mʼahofadi; woatena wʼahengua so, abu atɛntrenee.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
5 Woatwe amanaman no aso, na woasɛe amumɔyɛfo. Woapepa wɔn din a wɔrenkae wɔn bio.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
6 Ɔsɛe a enni awiei ato ɔtamfo no, woatutu wɔn nkuropɔn; na wɔnkae wɔn bio mpo.
O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
7 Awurade di hene daa daa; wasi nʼatemmu ahengua.
But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8 Ɔde trenee bebu wiase atɛn; ɔde atɛntrenee bedi nnipa no so.
For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
9 Awurade yɛ guankɔbea ma wɔn a wodi wɔn nya no, ɔyɛ abandennen wɔ ahohia mmere mu.
The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
10 Wɔn a wonim wo din no de wɔn ho bɛto wo so, efisɛ, wo Awurade, wunnyaw obiara a ɔhwehwɛ wo no mu da.
And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
11 Monto ayeyi dwom mma Awurade a ɔte ahengua so wɔ Sion; mompae mu nka nea wayɛ wɔ amanaman no mu.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
12 Na ɔkae nea ɔtɔ mogya so were no; ommu nʼani ngu ɔbrɛfo sufrɛ so.
For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
13 Awurade, hwɛ sɛnea mʼatamfo teetee me! Hu me mmɔbɔ na yi me fi owu apon ano,
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
14 na matumi apae mu aka wʼayeyi wɔ Ɔbabea Sion apon ano, na madi ahurusi wɔ wo nkwagye no mu hɔ.
That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
15 Amanaman mufo atɔ amoa a wɔatu no mu; afiri a wosum hintaw no ayi wɔn anan.
The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
16 Awurade atɛntrenee da no adi; amumɔyɛfo nsa ano adwuma ayi wɔn.
The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Nanso ɛnyɛ daa na ne werɛ befi ohiani, anaasɛ mmɔborɔni anidaso bɛyera korakora.
For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
19 Sɔre! Awurade, mma ɔdesani nni nkonim, bu amanaman no atɛn wɔ wʼanim.
Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
20 Bɔ wɔn hu, Awurade; na ma wonhu sɛ, wɔyɛ adesa bi kɛkɛ.
Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
