Dwom 108
Dawid dwom.
1Onyankopɔn, me koma asi pi;
mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayeyi nnwom.
2Munnyan, sanku ne bɛnta!
Menyan anɔpahema.
3Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu;
mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
4Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro;
wo nokwaredi du wim.
5Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro,
na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
6Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn,
na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
7Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se,
“Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu
na masusuw Sukot Bon.
8Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara;
Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw,
Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
9Moab yɛ me guasɛn,
Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu;
na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
10Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu?
Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
11Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn
na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
12Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no,
na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
13Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim,
na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so.
Psalm 108
A song. A psalm of David.
1God, my heart feels secure.
I will sing and make music to you with all my heart.
2Harp and lyre, wake up!
I want to sing and make music before the sun rises.
3Lord, I will praise you among the nations.
I will sing about you among the people of the earth.
4Great is your love. It is higher than the heavens.
Your truth reaches to the skies.
5God, may you be honored above the heavens.
Let your glory be over the whole earth.
6Save us. Help us with your powerful right hand,
so that those you love may be saved.
7God has spoken from his temple.
He has said, “I will win the battle.
Then I will divide up the land around Shechem.
I will divide up the Valley of Sukkoth.
8Gilead belongs to me, and so does the land of Manasseh.
Ephraim is the strongest tribe. It is like a helmet for my head.
Judah is the royal tribe. It is like a ruler’s scepter.
9Moab serves me like one who washes my feet.
I toss my sandal on Edom to show that I own it.
I shout to Philistia that I have won the battle.”
10Who will bring me to the city that has high walls around it?
Who will lead me to the land of Edom?
11God, isn’t it you, even though you have now turned away from us?
Isn’t it you, even though you don’t lead our armies into battle anymore?
12Help us against our enemies.
The help people give doesn’t amount to anything.
13With your help we will win the battle.
You will walk all over our enemies.
