Nnwom 43

1 Ao Onyankopɔn, bu me bem, na ka mʼasɛm a ɛtia ɔman a wɔnnsuro wo no ma me; gye me firi nnaadaafoɔ ne amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.

A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

2 Woyɛ Onyankopɔn, mʼabandenden. Adɛn enti na woapo me? Adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ menantenante twa adwo mʼatamfoɔ nhyɛsoɔ nti?

For you, O God, are my strength: therefore have you cast me off? and why do I go sad of countenance, while the enemy oppresses [me]?

3 Soma wo hann ne wo nokorɛ ma wɔn nkyerɛ me ɛkwan; ma wɔmmfa me mmra wo Bepɔ Kronkron no so, faako a woteɛ hɔ.

Send forth your light and your truth: they have led me, and brought me to your holy mountain, and to your tabernacles.

4 Afei, mɛkɔ Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia anim mʼanigyeɛ ne mʼahosɛpɛ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn. Mede sankuo bɛyi wo ayɛ, Ao Onyankopɔn, me Onyankopɔn.

And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth: I will give thanks to you on the harp, O God, my God.

5 Adɛn enti na woaboto, Ao me kra? Adɛn enti na woteetee wɔ me mu saa? Fa wo ho to Onyankopɔn so, na mɛkɔ so ayi no ayɛ, mʼAgyenkwa ne me Onyankopɔn.

Therefore are you very sad, O my soul? and therefore do you trouble me? Hope in God; for I will give thanks to him, [who is] the health of my countenance, [and] my God.
