Nnwom 36
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi da mʼakoma so a ɛfa omumuyɛfoɔ mmarato ho. Wɔnnsuro Onyankopɔn.
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Na ɔno ankasa ani so no, ɔdaadaa ne ho dodo enti mma ɔnhunu ne bɔne nnyae yɛ.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 Nʼanom nsɛm yɛ atirimuɔden ne nnaadaa; ɔnnim nyansa bio, na wayɛ papa.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 Ɔda ne mpa so mpo a, ɔbɔ pɔ bɔne; na ɔgyaa ne ho ma bɔne ɛkwan na ɔmpo deɛ ɛnyɛ.
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Awurade, wʼadɔeɛ duru sorosoro wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem tɔnn.
Thy mercy, O Yhwh, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Wo tenenee te sɛ mmepɔ akɛseɛ. Wʼatɛntenenee mu dɔ sɛ ɛpo bunu. Ao Awurade, wokora nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa so.
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Yhwh, thou preservest man and beast.
7 Wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no som bo! Nnipa mu akɛseɛ ne nketewa nya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Wɔdi deɛ abu soɔ wɔ wo fie woma wɔnom firi wʼanika asutene no mu.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Wo nkyɛn na nkwa asutire wɔ; wo hann mu na yɛhunu hann.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Kɔ so dɔ wɔn a wɔnim wo, ma wo tenenee ntena wɔn a wɔtene akoma mu.
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Mma ɔhantanni nan ntia me anaa omumuyɛfoɔ nsa nnsunsum me.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 Hwɛ sɛdeɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
