Nnwom 28
1 Dawid dwom. Wo na mesu mefrɛ wo, Ao Awurade me Botan; nsi wʼaso wɔ me enti. Sɛ woyɛ komm a, mɛyɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔasiane kɔ amena mu no.
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2 Tie me mmɔborɔ su ɛberɛ a mefrɛ wo pɛ mmoa ɛberɛ a mema me nsa so kyerɛ wo Tenabea Kronkron hɔ.
Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3 Mfa me mfra amumuyɛfoɔ mu ntwe me nkɔ wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne no. Wɔne wɔn yɔnkonom kasa fɛfɛ nanso wɔde ɔtan sie wɔn akoma mu.
Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4 Twe wɔn aso wɔ deɛ wɔayɛ no so; wɔn adwuma bɔne no so; tua deɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ayɛ so ka na fa deɛ ɛfata wɔn sane bra wɔn so.
Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5 Sɛ wɔmmu deɛ Awurade ayɛ ne deɛ ɔde ne nsa ayɛ no enti, ɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase na ɔremma wɔnnsɔre bio.
For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6 Ayɛyie nka Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ watie me mmɔborɔ su.
Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7 Awurade ne mʼahoɔden ne mʼakokyɛm; mʼakoma wɔ ne mu ahotosoɔ, na ɔboa me. Mʼakoma di ahurisie na mede dwomtoɔ bɛda no ase.
The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8 Awurade yɛ ahoɔden ma ne nkurɔfoɔ; ne nkwagyeɛ nsraban ma deɛ wɔasra no ngo.
The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9 Gye wo nkurɔfoɔ na hyira wʼagyapadeɛ; yɛ wɔn hwefoɔ, na wo ne wɔn nnante afebɔɔ.
Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
