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.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

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

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go 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.

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

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

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, 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 are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.
