Dwom 57
Dawid dwom a ɔtooɛ ɛberɛ a ɔdwane firii Saulo nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔbodan no mu.
1Hu me mmɔbɔ, Ao Onyankopɔn, hunu me mmɔbɔ,
na wo mu na me kra nya dwanekɔbea.
Wo ntaban nwunu ase na mɛpɛ dwanekɔbea
kɔsi sɛ amanehunu no bɛtwam.
2Mesu frɛ Onyankopɔn, Ɔsorosoroni no;
Onyankopɔn a ɔma ne pɛ ba mu wɔ me ho.
3Ɔsoma firi soro hɔ bɛgye me nkwa,
ɔka wɔn a wɔtaa me anibereɛ so no anim;
Onyankopɔn soma ne dɔ ne ne nokorɛ.
4Agyata atwa me ho ahyia;
meda mmoa a wɔwe ɛnam mono mu,
nnipa a wɔn se te sɛ mpea ne mmɛmma
na wɔn tɛkrɛma te sɛ akofena a ɛyɛ nnam.
5Ao Onyankopɔn, woyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro hɔ;
ma wʼanimuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so.
6Wɔtrɛɛ asau mu de sum me nan afidie,
ahohiahia brɛɛ me ase.
Wɔtuu amena wɔ me kwan mu,
nanso wɔn ankasa akɔtotɔ mu.
7Ao Onyankopɔn, mʼakoma agyina pintinn,
mʼakoma nhinhim;
mɛto dwom na mayi wo ayɛ.
8Me kra nyane!
Sankuo ne bɛnta, monnyane!
Me nso mɛnyane anɔpahema.
9Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo ayɛ wɔ amanaman no mu;
mɛto wo ho dwom wɔ nnipa mu.
10Wo dɔ yɛ kɛseɛ na ɛduru ɔsorosoro;
wo nokorɛ kɔka ewiem.
11Ao Onyankopɔn, woyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro hɔ;
ma wʼanimuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so.
Psalm 57
For the director of music. A miktam of David when he had run away from Saul into the cave. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”
1Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me.
I go to you for safety.
I will find safety in the shadow of your wings.
There I will stay until the danger is gone.
2I cry out to God Most High.
I cry out to God, and he shows that I am right.
3He answers from heaven and saves me.
He puts to shame those who chase me.
He shows his love and that he is faithful.
4Men who are like lions are all around me.
I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals.
Their teeth are like spears and arrows.
Their tongues are like sharp swords.
5God, may you be honored above the heavens.
Let your glory be over the whole earth.
6My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet.
I felt helpless.
They dug a pit in my path.
But they fell into it themselves.
7God, my heart feels secure.
My heart feels secure.
I will sing and make music to you.
8My spirit, wake up!
Harp and lyre, wake up!
I want to sing and make music before the sun rises.
9Lord, I will praise you among the nations.
I will sing about you among the people of the earth.
10Great is your love. It reaches to the heavens.
Your truth reaches to the skies.
11God, may you be honored above the heavens.
Let your glory be over the whole earth.
