Nnwom 77
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde ma Yedutun. Asaf dwom. Mesu mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn srɛɛ mmoa; mesu mefrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntie me.
For the excellent musician Ieduthun. A Psalme committed to Asaph. My voyce came to God, when I cryed: my voyce came to God, and he heard me.
2 Ɛberɛ a mewɔ ahohiahia mu no, mehwehwɛɛ Awurade; metrɛɛ me nsa a ɛmpa aba mu anadwo na me kra ampene sɛ wɔbɛkyekye ne werɛ.
In the day of my trouble I sought ye Lord: my sore ranne and ceased not in the night: my soule refused comfort.
3 Ao Onyankopɔn mekaee wo, na mesii apinie; medwendweneeɛ, na me honhom tɔɔ piti.
I did thinke vpon God, and was troubled: I praied, and my spirit was full of anguish. (Selah)
4 Woamma mʼani ankum; amanehunu dodoɔ enti, mantumi ankasa.
Thou keepest mine eyes waking: I was astonied and could not speake.
5 Medwenee nna a atwam no ho, teteete mfeɛ no ho;
Then I considered the daies of olde, and the yeeres of ancient time.
6 mekaee me nnwom a na meto no anadwo. Mʼakoma dwenee ho na me honhom bisaa sɛ:
I called to remembrance my song in the night: I communed with mine owne heart, and my spirit searched diligently.
7 “Enti, Awurade bɛpo yɛn daa? Ɔrenhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio anaa?
Will the Lord absent him selfe for euer? and will he shewe no more fauour?
8 Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da atu ayera koraa anaa? Na ne bɔhyɛ no, amma mu koraa anaa?
Is his mercie cleane gone for euer? doeth his promise faile for euermore?
9 Onyankopɔn werɛ afiri sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ anaa? Abufuo enti ne yam nhyehye no bio anaa?”
Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? hath he shut vp his teder mercies in displeasure? (Selah)
10 Afei, medwenee sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ɔsorosoroni, deɛ ɛhyɛ me kra so ne sɛ, wommfa wo tete nsa nifa no mmoa yɛn bio.”
And I sayde, This is my death: yet I remembred the yeeres of the right hand of the most High.
11 Mɛkae nneɛma a Awurade ayɛ; aane, mɛkae wʼanwanwadeɛ a woyɛɛ tete no.
I remembred the workes of the Lord: certainely I remembred thy wonders of olde.
12 Mɛdwene wo nnwuma nyinaa ho na masusu wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ nyinaa ho.
I did also meditate all thy woorkes, and did deuise of thine actes, saying,
13 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼakwan yɛ kronn. Onyame bɛn na ɔso sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn?
Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuarie: who is so great a God as our God!
14 Wone Onyankopɔn a woyɛ anwanwadeɛ; wokyerɛ wo tumi wɔ aman mu.
Thou art ye God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy power among the people.
15 Wode wo tumi nsa no gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob ne Yosef asefoɔ no.
Thou hast redeemed thy people with thine arme, euen the sonnes of Iaakob and Ioseph. (Selah)
16 Ao Onyankopɔn, nsuo no hunuu wo, nsuo no hunuu wo na wɔpopoeɛ; ebunu no mpo ho wosoeɛ.
The waters sawe thee, O God: the waters sawe thee, and were afraide: yea, the depths trembled.
17 Omununkum tɔɔ nsuo, aprannaa gyegyee wɔ soro; na wo bɛmma twaa ogya dii akɔneaba.
The cloudes powred out water: the heauens gaue a sounde: yea, thine arrowes went abroade.
18 Wʼaprannaa boboom wɔ twahoframa no mu, wʼanyinam hyerɛn ewiase; asase popoeɛ na ɛwosoeɛ.
The voyce of thy thunder was rounde about: the lightnings lightened the worlde: the earth trembled and shooke.
19 Wode wo kwan faa ɛpo mu, wode faa nsuo kɛseɛ mu, nanso wɔanhunu wʼanammɔn.
Thy way is in the Sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footesteps are not knowen.
20 Wonam Mose ne Aaron so dii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim sɛ nnwankuo.
Thou diddest leade thy people like sheepe by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
