Nnwom 9
1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, mefi me koma nyinaa mu ada wo ase. Mɛka wʼanwonwade no nyinaa.
[For the choir director; according to Muth-labben. A Psalm by David.] I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2 Mɛma mʼani agye na madi ahurusi wɔ wo mu. Mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din, Ɔsorosoroni.
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 Mʼatamfo san wɔn akyi; wɔtetew hwe, na wowuwu wɔ wʼanim.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 Woadi mʼasɛm ama me, na menya mʼahofadi; woatena wʼahengua so, abu atɛntrenee.
For you have upheld my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 Woatwe amanaman no aso, na woasɛe amumɔyɛfo. Woapepa wɔn din a wɔrenkae wɔn bio.
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 Ɔsɛe a enni awiei ato ɔtamfo no, woatutu wɔn nkuropɔn; na wɔnkae wɔn bio mpo.
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin; and the very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 Awurade di hene daa daa; wasi nʼatemmu ahengua.
But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Ɔde trenee bebu wiase atɛn; ɔde atɛntrenee bedi nnipa no so.
And he will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
9 Awurade yɛ guankɔbea ma wɔn a wodi wɔn nya no, ɔyɛ abandennen wɔ ahohia mmere mu.
The LORD will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
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 those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
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 dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12 Na ɔkae nea ɔtɔ mogya so were no; ommu nʼani ngu ɔbrɛfo sufrɛ so.
For he who takes revenge against murderers remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Awurade, hwɛ sɛnea mʼatamfo teetee me! Hu me mmɔbɔ na yi me fi owu apon ano,
Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me. You lift 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.
so that I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 Amanaman mufo atɔ amoa a wɔatu no mu; afiri a wosum hintaw no ayi wɔn anan.
The nations have fallen into the pit they had made. In the net which they hid, their feet are caught.
16 Awurade atɛntrenee da no adi; amumɔyɛfo nsa ano adwuma ayi wɔn.
The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Nanso ɛnyɛ daa na ne werɛ befi ohiani, anaasɛ mmɔborɔni anidaso bɛyera korakora.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Sɔre! Awurade, mma ɔdesani nni nkonim, bu amanaman no atɛn wɔ wʼanim.
Arise, LORD. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Bɔ wɔn hu, Awurade; na ma wonhu sɛ, wɔyɛ adesa bi kɛkɛ.
Terrify them, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
