Dawid dwom.
1Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu,
na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.
2Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw;
Awurade sa me yare
na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.
3Me kra wɔ ahohia mu.
Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?
4San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa;
gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.
5Obi a wawu no renkae wo da,
hena na ofi ɔda mu kamfo wo?
6Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw.
Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa,
na me nusu fɔw me sumii.
7Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu.
Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.
8Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho!
efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
9Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu;
Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
10Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase
na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn;
na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.6.1 chief…: or, overseer6.1 Sheminith: or, the eighth
2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.6.6 all…: or, every night
7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
