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!
Psalm 64In Hebrew texts 64:1-10 is numbered 64:2-11.
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the plots of evildoers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it64:5 Or us?”
6They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
10The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!
