Asaf dwom.
1Misu mefrɛɛ Onyankopɔn srɛɛ mmoa;
misu mefrɛɛ no sɛ ontie me.
2Bere a mewɔ ahohiahia mu no, mehwehwɛɛ Awurade;
metrɛw me nsa a ɛmpa abaw mu anadwo
na me kra ampene sɛ wɔbɛkyekye ne werɛ.
3Onyankopɔn mekaee wo, na misii apini;
medwenee, na me honhom tɔɔ beraw.
4Woamma mʼani ankum;
amanehunu dodow nti, mantumi ankasa.
5Medwenee nna a atwam no ho,
teteete mfe no ho;
6mekaee me nnwom a na meto no anadwo.
Me koma dwenee ho na me honhom bisae se:
7“Enti, Awurade bɛpo yɛn daa?
Ɔrenhu yɛn mmɔbɔ bio ana?
8Nʼadɔe a ɛnsa da atu ayera koraa ana?
Na ne bɔhyɛ no, amma mu koraa ana?
9Onyankopɔn werɛ afi sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mmɔborɔhunufo ana?
Ɔde abufuw atwe nʼayamhyehye no asan ana?”
10Afei misusuwii se, “Eyi de, mɛsrɛ:
mfe a Ɔsorosoroni no teɛɛ ne nsa nifa mu no.”
11Mɛkae nneɛma a Awurade ayɛ;
yiw, mɛkae wo tete anwonwade no.
12Mɛdwene wo nnwuma nyinaa ho
na masusuw wo nneyɛe akɛse nyinaa ho.
13Onyankopɔn, wʼakwan yɛ kronkron.
Onyame bɛn na ɔso sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn?
14Wone Onyankopɔn a woyɛ anwonwade;
wokyerɛ wo tumi wɔ aman mu.
15Wode wo tumi nsa no gyee wo nkurɔfo,
Yakob ne Yosef asefo no.
16Onyankopɔn, nsu no huu wo,
nsu no huu wo na wɔpopoe;
bun no mpo ho wosowee.
17Omununkum tɔɔ nsu,
aprannaa gyigyee wɔ ɔsoro;
na wo bɛmma paa gya dii akɔneaba.
18Wʼaprannaa bobɔɔ mu wɔ mfɛtɛ no mu,

asase popoe, na ɛwosowee.
19Wode wo kwan faa po mu,
wode faa nsu kɛse mu,
nanso wɔanhu wʼanammɔn.
20Wonam Mose ne Aaron abasa so,
dii wo nkurɔfo anim sɛ nguankuw.
Psalm 77In Hebrew texts 77:1-20 is numbered 77:2-21.
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.77:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verses 9 and 15.
4You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
5I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
6I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7‘Will the Lord reject for ever?
Will he never show his favour again?
8Has his unfailing love vanished for ever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?’
10Then I thought, ‘To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.’
13Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
15With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
17The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
