Nnwom 54

1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔbɔ no sankuo so. Dawid “maskil” dwom. Ɔtoo no ɛberɛ a Sififoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Saulo sɛ, “Dawid abɛhinta wɔ yɛn mu.” Ao Onyankopɔn, gye me wɔ wo din mu; fa wo tumi di mʼasɛm ma me.

To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David, to give instruction. When the Ziphims came and said unto Saul, Is not David hid among us? Save mee, O God, by thy Name, and by thy power iudge me.

2 Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me mpaeɛbɔ; tie mʼanom nsɛm.

O God, heare my prayer: hearken vnto the wordes of my mouth.

3 Ahɔhoɔ reto ahyɛ me so. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ repɛ me akum me; nnipa a wɔmmfa Onyankopɔn nyɛ hwee.

For strangers are risen vp against me, and tyrants seeke my soule: they haue not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Ampa ara, Onyankopɔn ne me ɔboafoɔ; Awurade ne me hwɛfoɔ.

Beholde, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that vpholde my soule.

5 Ma mmusuo nkyim mmra wɔn a wɔdi me ho nsekuro so; wo nokorɛdie mu, sɛe wɔn.

He shall rewarde euill vnto mine enemies: Oh cut them off in thy trueth!

6 Mɛfiri me pɛ mu abɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo; Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo din ayɛ, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ.

Then I will sacrifice freely vnto thee: I wil praise thy Name, O Lord, because it is good.

7 Woagye me afiri me haw nyinaa mu, na mʼani ahunu nkonimdie wɔ mʼatamfoɔ so.

For he hath deliuered me out of al trouble, and mine eye hath seene my desire vpon mine enemies.
