Psalms 70

1 For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid adesrɛ dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, yɛ ntɛm gye me nkwa; Awurade bra ntɛm bɛboa me.

2 May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

Ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me kra no anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me sɛe no nyinaa mfa animguase nsan wɔn akyi.

3 May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.

Ma wɔn a wɔka, “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no nsan wɔn akyi, esiane wɔn aniwu nti.

4 But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa nsɛpɛw wɔn ho na wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagye no nka da biara se, “Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔkɛse!”

5 I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.

Me de meyɛ ohiani a minni ɔboafo; Ao, Onyankopɔn, bra me nkyɛn ntɛm. Wo ne me boafo ne me gyefo; Awurade, ntwentwɛn wʼanan ase.
