Nnwom 36
1 Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Dawid dwom. Nkɔmhyɛ bi da mʼakoma so a ɛfa omumuyɛfoɔ mmarato ho. Wɔnnsuro Onyankopɔn.
For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, 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, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated.
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 iniquity 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 lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.
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 mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, 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 precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge 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 drive me away.
12 Hwɛ sɛdeɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ahwehwe ase, wɔdeda hɔ a wɔrentumi nsɔre bio.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
