Nnwom 9
1 Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, mefiri mʼakoma nyinaa mu mekamfo wo. Mɛka wʼanwanwadeɛ no nyinaa.
To him that excelleth vpon Muth Laben. A Psalme of Dauid. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart: I will speake of all thy marueilous workes.
2 Mɛma mʼani agye na madi ahurisie wɔ wo mu. Mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo din, Ao Ɔsorosoroni.
I will bee glad, and reioyce in thee: I will sing praise to thy Name, O most High,
3 Mʼatamfoɔ sane wɔn akyi; wɔtete hwe, na wɔwuwu wɔ wʼanim.
For that mine enemies are turned backe: they shall fall, and perish at thy presence.
4 Woadi mʼasɛm ama me, na mɛnya mʼahofadie; woatena wʼahennwa so, abu atɛntenenee.
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause: thou art set in the throne, and iudgest right.
5 Woatwe amanaman no aso, na woasɛe amumuyɛfoɔ. Woapepa wɔn din a wɔrenkae wɔn bio.
Thou hast rebuked the heathen: thou hast destroyed the wicked: thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.
6 Ɔsɛeɛ a ɛnni awieeɛ ato ɔtamfoɔ no, woatutu wɔn nkuropɔn; na wɔnnkae wɔn bio mpo.
O enemie, destructions are come to a perpetual end, and thou hast destroyed the cities: their memoriall is perished with them.
7 Awurade di ɔhene daa daa; wasi nʼatemmuo ahennwa.
But the Lord shall sit for euer: hee hath prepared his throne for iudgement.
8 Ɔde tenenee bɛbu ewiase atɛn; ɔde atɛntenenee bɛdi nnipa no so.
For he shall iudge the worlde in righteousnes, and shall iudge the people with equitie.
9 Awurade yɛ dwanekɔbea ma wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so, ɔyɛ abandenden wɔ ahohia mmrɛ mu.
The Lord also wil be a refuge for the poore, a refuge in due time, euen in affliction.
10 Wɔn a wɔnim wo din no de wɔn ho bɛto wo so, ɛfiri sɛ, wo Awurade, wonnyaa obiara a ɔhwehwɛ wo no mu da.
And they that know thy Name, will trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not failed them that seeke thee.
11 Monto ayɛyie dwom mma Awurade a ɔte ahennwa so wɔ Sion; mompae mu nka deɛ wayɛ wɔ amanaman no mu.
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: shewe the people his workes.
12 Na ɔkae deɛ ɔtɔ mogya so were no; ɔmmu nʼani ngu ɔbrɛfoɔ sufrɛ so.
For whe he maketh inquisition for blood, hee remembreth it, and forgetteth not the complaint of the poore.
13 Ao Awurade, hwɛ sɛdeɛ mʼatamfoɔ teetee me! Hu me mmɔbɔ na yi me firi owuo apono ano,
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate mee, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death,
14 na matumi apae mu aka wʼayɛyie wɔ Ɔbabaa Sion apono ano na ɛhɔ, madi ahurisie wɔ wo nkwagyeɛ no mu.
That I may shewe all thy praises within the gates of the daughter of Zion, and reioyce in thy saluation.
15 Aman amanmufoɔ atɔ amena a wɔatu no mu; afidie a wɔsum hintaaeɛ no ayi wɔn nan.
The heathen are sunken downe in the pit that they made: in the nette that they hid, is their foote taken.
16 Awurade atɛntenenee da no adi; amumuyɛfoɔ nsa ano adwuma ayi wɔn.
The Lord is knowen by executing iudgement: the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne handes. (Higgaion, Selah)
The wicked shall turne into hell, and all nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Nanso ɛnyɛ daa na ne werɛ bɛfiri ohiani, anaa sɛ mmɔborɔni anidasoɔ bɛyera korakora.
For the poore shall not bee alway forgotten: the hope of the afflicted shall not perish for euer.
19 Sɔre! Ao Awurade, mma ɔdasani nni nkonim, bu amanaman no atɛn wɔ wʼanim.
Vp Lord: let not man preuaile: let the heathen be iudged in thy sight.
20 Hunahuna wɔn, Ao Awurade; na ma wɔnhunu sɛ, wɔyɛ adasamma.
Put them in feare, O Lord, that the heathen may knowe that they are but men. (Selah)
