Nnwom 6
1 Dawid dwom. Ao, Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabofuo mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuhyeɛ mu.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ meyɛ mmrɛ; Ao Awurade sa me yadeɛ na me nnompe wɔ ahoyera mu.
Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn?
And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?
4 Sane bra, Ao Awurade, na bɛgye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ no enti.
Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.
For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisie ama mayɛ mmerɛ. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔ me mpa na me nisuo fɔ me sumiiɛ.
I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.
7 Awerɛhoɔ ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa enti.
My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ, montwe mo ho mfiri me ho, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔ su; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa anim bɛgu ase na wɔn ho adwiri wɔn; na wɔapatu de fɛreɛ asane wɔn akyi.
All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
