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 the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy wonderful 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 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 back, 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 sattest on the throne judging 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 ever and ever.
6 Ɔsɛe a enni awiei ato ɔtamfo no, woatutu wɔn nkuropɔn; na wɔnkae wɔn bio mpo.
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial hath perished with them.
7 Awurade di hene daa daa; wasi nʼatemmu ahengua.
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Ɔde trenee bebu wiase atɛn; ɔde atɛntrenee bedi nnipa no so.
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
9 Awurade yɛ guankɔbea ma wɔn a wodi wɔn nya no, ɔyɛ abandennen wɔ ahohia mmere mu.
The LORD also will 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 they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek 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, who dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
12 Na ɔkae nea ɔtɔ mogya so were no; ommu nʼani ngu ɔbrɛfo sufrɛ so.
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Awurade, hwɛ sɛnea mʼatamfo teetee me! Hu me mmɔbɔ na yi me fi owu apon ano,
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer] from them that hate me, thou that 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.
That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
15 Amanaman mufo atɔ amoa a wɔatu no mu; afiri a wosum hintaw no ayi wɔn anan.
The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Awurade atɛntrenee da no adi; amumɔyɛfo nsa ano adwuma ayi wɔn.
The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] 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 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 man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
20 Bɔ wɔn hu, Awurade; na ma wonhu sɛ, wɔyɛ adesa bi kɛkɛ.
Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. (Selah)
