Nnwom 77
1 Asaf dwom. Mesu mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn srɛɛ mmoa; mesu mefrɛɛ no sɛ ɔntie me.
For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice; even unto God with my voice, and he wilt give ear unto 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 the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Ao Onyankopɔn mekaee wo, na mesii apinie; medwendweneeɛ, na me honhom tɔɔ piti.
I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Woamma mʼani ankum; amanehunu dodoɔ enti, mantumi ankasa.
Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 Medwenee nna a atwam no ho, teteete mfeɛ no ho;
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 mekaee me nnwom a na meto no anadwo. Mʼakoma dwenee ho na me honhom bisaa sɛ:
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; and my spirit made diligent search.
7 “Enti, Awurade bɛpo yɛn daa? Ɔrenhunu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio anaa?
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da atu ayera koraa anaa? Na ne bɔhyɛ no, amma mu koraa anaa?
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
9 Onyankopɔn werɛ afiri sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ anaa? Abufuo enti ne yam nhyehye no bio anaa?”
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (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 said, This is my infirmity; [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
11 Mɛkae nneɛma a Awurade ayɛ; aane, mɛkae wʼanwanwadeɛ a woyɛɛ tete no.
I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; for I will remember thy wonders of old.
12 Mɛdwene wo nnwuma nyinaa ho na masusu wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ nyinaa ho.
I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings.
13 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼakwan yɛ kronn. Onyame bɛn na ɔso sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn?
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is a great god like unto God?
14 Wone Onyankopɔn a woyɛ anwanwadeɛ; wokyerɛ wo tumi wɔ aman mu.
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.
15 Wode wo tumi nsa no gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ, Yakob ne Yosef asefoɔ no.
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Ao Onyankopɔn, nsuo no hunuu wo, nsuo no hunuu wo na wɔpopoeɛ; ebunu no mpo ho wosoeɛ.
The waters saw thee, O God; the waters saw thee, they were afraid: the depths also trembled.
17 Omununkum tɔɔ nsuo, aprannaa gyegyee wɔ soro; na wo bɛmma twaa ogya dii akɔneaba.
The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
18 Wʼaprannaa boboom wɔ twahoframa no mu, wʼanyinam hyerɛn ewiase; asase popoeɛ na ɛwosoeɛ.
The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Wode wo kwan faa ɛpo mu, wode faa nsuo kɛseɛ mu, nanso wɔanhunu wʼanammɔn.
Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps were not known.
20 Wonam Mose ne Aaron so dii wo nkurɔfoɔ anim sɛ nnwankuo.
Thou leddest thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
