1Awurade mu na mede me werɛ ahyɛ.
Adɛn na wutumi ka kyerɛ me se,
“Tu te sɛ anomaa kɔ wo bepɔw so.
2Na hwɛ, amumɔyɛfo akuntun wɔn ta mu,
na wɔde wɔn mmɛmma asisi ahama so
sɛ wɔbɛtow wɔ sum mu
de awɔ koma mu ahotefo.
3Sɛ wɔresɛe fapem no a,
dɛn na ɔtreneeni betumi ayɛ?”
4Awurade wɔ nʼasɔredan kronkron no mu;
Awurade te ne soro ahengua so.
Ɔhwɛ nnipa mma,
nʼani hwehwɛ wɔn mu.
5Awurade hwehwɛ ɔtreneeni mu,
na amumɔyɛfo ne wɔn a wɔpɛ basabasayɛ de,
ne kra kyi wɔn.
6Ɔbɛtɔ ogyatannaa ne sufre a ɛredɛw
agu amumɔyɛfo so;
na mframa a mu yɛ hyew bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa.
7Awurade yɛ ɔtreneeni,
na ɔpɛ atɛntrenee;
wɔn a wɔteɛ no behu nʼanim.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.11.2 privily: Heb. in darkness
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.11.6 an horrible…: or, a burning tempest
7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
