Nnwom 5
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa atɛntɛbɛn nto. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛ aso ma me nsɛm na dwene mʼapinisie ho.
For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David. Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my (meditation)
2 Tie me mmoa ho sufrɛ, me Ɔhene ne me Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ wo na mebɔ wo mpaeɛ.
Listen to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I pray to you.
3 Ao, Awurade, wote me nne anɔpa; anɔpa, mede mʼadesrɛ ba wʼanim na mede anidasoɔ twɛn.
LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.
4 Wonyɛ Onyankopɔn a wʼani gye bɔne ho; na amumuyɛfoɔ rentumi ne wo ntena.
For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil cannot live with you.
5 Ahantanfoɔ rentumi nnyina wʼanim; wokyiri wɔn a wɔyɛ bɔne nyinaa.
The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Wosɛe wɔn a wɔka atorɔsɛm; Awurade kyiri mogyapɛfoɔ ne asisifoɔ.
You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 Nanso me, wo mmɔborɔhunu bebrebe enti, mɛba wo fie; na anidie mu na mɛkoto akyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no.
But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8 Ao Awurade kyerɛ me ɛkwan wɔ wo tenenee mu mʼatamfoɔ enti, bɔ wo kwan tee wɔ mʼanim.
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.
9 Wɔn anom asɛm baako mpo nyɛ nokorɛ; ɔsɛeɛ ahyɛ wɔn akoma ma. Wɔn menewa yɛ damena a ɛso abue wɔde wɔn tɛkrɛma ka nnaadaasɛm.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.
10 Ao, Onyankopɔn, bu wɔn fɔ! Ma wɔn pɔ bɔne nyɛ wɔn ahweaseɛ. Pam wɔn ɛsiane wɔn bɔne dodoɔ no enti, ɛfiri sɛ wɔasɔre atia wo.
Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
11 Nanso, ma wɔn a wɔdwane ba wo nkyɛn no ani nnye; ma wɔmfa anigyeɛ nto dwom daa. Trɛ wo banbɔ mu wɔ wɔn so, na wɔn a wɔdɔ wo din no ma wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu.
But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.
12 Ao Awurade, ampa ara, wohyira teneneefoɔ; na wode wʼayamyɛ twa wɔn ho hyia te sɛ akokyɛm.
For you will bless the righteous. LORD, you will surround him with favor as with a shield.
