Nnwom 4
1 Dawid dwom. Sɛ mesu frɛ wo a, gye me so, Ao, me tenenee Onyankopɔn. Ma me ahomegyeɛ wɔ mʼahohia mu; hunu me mmɔbɔ na tie me mpaeɛbɔ.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Ao mmarima, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn na mo bɛdane mʼanimuonyam ahohora? Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn na mobɛdɔ nneɛma hunu na moadi ahoni huhuo akyi?
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 Hunu sɛ Awurade ayi deɛ ɔwɔ nyamesu ama ne ho; Awurade bɛtie, sɛ mesu mefrɛ no a.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Mo bo fu a, monnyɛ bɔne; sɛ modeda mo mpa so a, monyɛ komm na monhwehwɛ mo akoma mu.
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Mommɔ afɔdeɛ a ɛfata na momfa mo werɛ nhyɛ Awurade mu.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Nnipa bebree bisa sɛ: “Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ayɛ yɛn adɔeɛ?” Ao Awurade, ma wʼanim hann no nhyerɛn yɛn so.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 Wode anigyeɛ mmorosoɔ ahyɛ mʼakoma ma asene ɛberɛ a wɔn aburoo ne nsã foforɔ abu so no.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 Mɛtɔ hɔ, na mada asomdwoeɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wo nko ara, Ao Awurade, na woma metena asomdwoeɛ mu. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa atɛntɛbɛn nto.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
