Nnwom 56
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Aburuburo a ɔsi Akyirikyiri Odum so.” Dawid dwom a ɔtoeɛ ɛberɛ a Filistifoɔ kyeree no wɔ Gat no. Ao Onyankopɔn, hunu me mmɔbɔ na nnipa taa me anibereɛ so; da mu nyinaa, wɔmia mmirika a wɔtu wɔtaa me no mu.
For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.
2 Wɔn a wɔbɔ me ahohora taa me da mu nyinaa; wɔn a wɔma wɔn ho so tia me dɔɔso.
They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,
3 Sɛ mebɔ hu a, mede me ho bɛto wo so.
In the day that I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
4 Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so, na merensuro. Ɛdeɛn na onipa dasani bɛtumi ayɛ me?
In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?
5 Ɛda mu nyinaa wɔgye mʼano si bɔne; ɛberɛ biara wɔbɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛteetee me.
All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Wɔbɔ pɔ, na wɔtetɛ, wɔhwɛ mʼanammɔntuo, na wɔpere sɛ wɔbɛkum me.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.
7 Ɛkwan biara so, mma wɔmfa wɔn ho nni; Ao Onyankopɔn, brɛ amanaman no ase wɔ wʼabufuo mu.
Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.
8 Twerɛ me kwadwom to hɔ; sese me nisuo wɔ wo nwoma mmobɔeɛ no mu. Ɛnni deɛ woatwerɛ ato hɔ no mu anaa?
Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?
9 Sɛ mepɛ mmoa firi wo hɔ a, mʼatamfoɔ bɛsane wɔn akyi. Yei bɛma mahunu sɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ mʼafa.
Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.
10 Onyankopɔn a mekamfo nʼasɛm no, Awurade a mekamfo nʼasɛm no,
In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —
11 mede me ho to Onyankopɔn so; na merensuro. Ɛdeɛn na ɔdasani bɛtumi ayɛ me?
In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?
12 Ao Onyankopɔn, mehyɛ ɛbɔ a mahyɛ wo no ase, mede mʼaseda afɔdeɛ bɛbrɛ wo.
Thy vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.
13 Ɛfiri sɛ, woagye me afiri owuo mu, woamma me nan ansunti, sɛdeɛ mɛtumi anante Onyankopɔn anim wɔ nkwa hann mu.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
