I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.
For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ao Onyankopɔn, ahomasofoɔ ato ahyɛ me so; basabasayɛfoɔ kuo repɛ me akum me, nnipa a wɔmmfa wo nyɛ hwee no.
O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,

And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 Dane wʼani hwɛ me na dom me; fa wʼahoɔden ma wʼakoa na gye wʼafenaa babarima nkwa.
Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.
17 Ma me wo papayɛ ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, na mʼatamfoɔ nhunu na wɔn anim ngu ase na wo Ao Awurade, wo na woaboa me akyekye me werɛ.
Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
