1Me Nyankopɔn, tie me, bere a mereka me haw;
bɔ me kra ho ban fi ɔtamfo ahunahuna ho.
2Fa me sie fi amumɔyɛfo agyinatu ho,
ne nnebɔneyɛfo pɔwbɔ ho.
3Wɔsew wɔn tɛkrɛma sɛ afoa
na wɔde atirimɔden nsɛm sɔn sɛ mmɛmma werɛmfo.
4Wofi ahintawee mu, tow bɔ onipa a ne ho nni asɛm;
wɔtow bɔ no mpofirim a wonsuro.
5Wɔhyehyɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho nkuran wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ nhyehyɛe ho,
wɔka sɛnea wobesum wɔn mfiri asie;
wɔka se, “Hena na obehu yɛn?”
6Wɔbɔ ntɛnkyew ho pɔw na wɔka se,
“Yɛayɛ nhyehyɛe a ɛso nni koraa!”
Ampa ara onipa koma ne nʼadwene yɛ anifere.
7Nanso Onyankopɔn bɛto bɛmma abɔ wɔn;
na wɔbɛhwe fam prɛko pɛ.
8Ɔbɛdan wɔn ankasa tɛkrɛma atia wɔn
na ɔde wɔn aba ɔsɛe mu;
na wɔn a wobehu wɔn nyinaa de animka bɛbɔ wɔn ti nko.
9Adesamma nyinaa besuro;
wɔbɛpae mu aka Onyankopɔn nnwuma
na wɔasusuw nea wayɛ ho.
10Ma atreneefo nni ahurusi wɔ Awurade mu
na wɔmpɛ guankɔbea wɔ no mu;
ma wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew nyinaa nyi no ayɛ!
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?64.5 matter: or, speech64.5 of…: Heb. to hide his snares
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.64.6 they…: or, we are consumed by that which they have throughly searched64.6 a diligent…: Heb. a search searched
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.64.7 shall they…: Heb. their wound shall be
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
