Nnwom 6
1 Dawid dwom. Ao, Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabofuo mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuhyeɛ mu.
For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ meyɛ mmrɛ; Ao Awurade sa me yadeɛ na me nnompe wɔ ahoyera mu.
Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn?
all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?
4 Sane bra, Ao Awurade, na bɛgye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ no enti.
Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.
For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisie ama mayɛ mmerɛ. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔ me mpa na me nisuo fɔ me sumiiɛ.
I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.
7 Awerɛhoɔ ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa enti.
My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ, montwe mo ho mfiri me ho, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔ su; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa anim bɛgu ase na wɔn ho adwiri wɔn; na wɔapatu de fɛreɛ asane wɔn akyi.
My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
