Nnwom 9
1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, mefi me koma nyinaa mu ada wo ase. Mɛka wʼanwonwade no nyinaa.
“To the chief musician upon Muthlabben, a psalm of David.” I will thank the Lord with all my heart: I will relate all thy marvelous deeds.
2 Mɛma mʼani agye na madi ahurusi wɔ wo mu. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din, Ɔsorosoroni.
I will rejoice and exult in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High:
3 Mʼatamfo san wɔn akyi; wɔtetew hwe, na wowuwu wɔ wʼanim.
When my enemies are turned backward, [when] they fall and perish at thy presence.
4 Woadi mʼasɛm ama me, na menya mʼahofadi; woatena wʼahengua so, abu atɛntrenee.
For thou hast conducted my dispute and my cause; thou hast sat on the throne as a righteous judge.
5 Woatwe amanaman no aso, na woasɛe amumɔyɛfo. Woapepa wɔn din a wɔrenkae wɔn bio.
Thou hast rebuked nations, thou hast caused the wicked to perish, their name hast thou blotted out for ever and ever.
6 Ɔsɛe a enni awiei ato ɔtamfo no, woatutu wɔn nkuropɔn; na wɔnkae wɔn bio mpo.
O thou enemy, the ruins are passed away for ever, and the cities which thou hast destroyed, —lost is their memorial, yea, theirs.
7 Awurade di hene daa daa; wasi nʼatemmu ahengua.
But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.
8 Ɔde trenee bebu wiase atɛn; ɔde atɛntrenee bedi nnipa no so.
And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.
9 Awurade yɛ guankɔbea ma wɔn a wodi wɔn nya no, ɔyɛ abandennen wɔ ahohia mmere mu.
The Lord also will be a strong-hold for the oppressed, a strong-hold in times of distress.
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 put their trust in thee; for thou hast not forsaken those that seek thee, O Lord.
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, who dwelleth in Zion: announce among the people his deeds.
12 Na ɔkae nea ɔtɔ mogya so were no; ommu nʼani ngu ɔbrɛfo sufrɛ so.
For he, that inquireth after acts of blood, hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.
13 Awurade, hwɛ sɛnea mʼatamfo teetee me! Hu me mmɔbɔ na yi me fi owu apon ano,
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; have regard to my affliction [coming] from those that hate me, thou who liftest me up 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.
In order that I may relate all thy praises in the gates of the daughters of Zion: I will be glad in thy salvation.
15 Amanaman mufo atɔ amoa a wɔatu no mu; afiri a wosum hintaw no ayi wɔn anan.
Sunk are nations in the ditch that they have prepared: in this net which they had laid in secret is their own foot caught.
16 Awurade atɛntrenee da no adi; amumɔyɛfo nsa ano adwuma ayi wɔn.
The Lord is made known: he executed justice: through the doing of his own hands is the wicked ensnared. Higgayon, (Selah)
The wicked shall return into hell, all the nations that are forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Nanso ɛnyɛ daa na ne werɛ befi ohiani, anaasɛ mmɔborɔni anidaso bɛyera korakora.
For not everlastingly shall the needy be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Sɔre! Awurade, mma ɔdesani nni nkonim, bu amanaman no atɛn wɔ wʼanim.
Arise, O Lord; let not the mortal boast of his strength; let nations be judged before thy face.
20 Bɔ wɔn hu, Awurade; na ma wonhu sɛ, wɔyɛ adesa bi kɛkɛ.
Place, O Lord, fear over them: let nations know, that they are but mortals. (Selah)
