Nnwom 6
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ ɔmfa sankuhoma nto wɔ Seminit ɛnne so. 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!
