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 Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, will I call; my rock, be not thou deaf unto me: lest, if thou be silent unto me, I become like them that go down 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.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy 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.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity; which speak peace with their neighbours, but mischief 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.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings: give them after the operation of their hands; render to them their desert.

5 Sɛ wɔmmu deɛ Awurade ayɛ ne deɛ ɔde ne nsa ayɛ no enti, ɔbɛbrɛ wɔn ase na ɔremma wɔnnsɔre bio.

Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall break them down and not build them up.

6 Ayɛyie nka Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ watie me mmɔborɔ su.

Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

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 shield; my heart hath trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will 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 a strong hold of salvation to his anointed.

9 Gye wo nkurɔfoɔ na hyira wʼagyapadeɛ; yɛ wɔn hwefoɔ, na wo ne wɔn nnante afebɔɔ.

Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and bear them up for ever.
