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 chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, ɛfiri sɛ meyɛ mmrɛ; Ao Awurade sa me yadeɛ na me nnompe wɔ ahoyera mu.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, ɛnkɔsi da bɛn?
My soul is also greatly troubled: but thou, O LORD, how long?
4 Sane bra, Ao Awurade, na bɛgye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a ɛnni hwammɔ no enti.
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercies’ sake.
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisie ama mayɛ mmerɛ. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔ me mpa na me nisuo fɔ me sumiiɛ.
I am weary with my groaning; all the night I make my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Awerɛhoɔ ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa enti.
My eye is consumed because of grief; it groweth old because of all my enemies.
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ, montwe mo ho mfiri me ho, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔ su; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfoɔ nyinaa anim bɛgu ase na wɔn ho adwiri wɔn; na wɔapatu de fɛreɛ asane wɔn akyi.
Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled: let them return and be suddenly ashamed.
