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.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

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

For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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.

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

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

Then will I go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, 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.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
