Psalms 57
1 Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ no. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Mma Wɔnsɛe No.” Dawid dwom a ɔtooɛ ɛberɛ a ɔdwane firii Saulo nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔbodan no mu. Hu 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.
2 I will cry to God the most High; to God who hath done good to me.
Mesu frɛ Onyankopɔn, Ɔsorosoroni no; Onyankopɔn a ɔma ne pɛ ba mu wɔ me ho.
3 He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me. God hath sent his mercy and his truth,
Ɔsoma firi soro hɔ bɛgye me nkwa, ɔka wɔn a wɔtaa me anibereɛ so no anim; Onyankopɔn soma ne dɔ ne ne nokorɛ.
4 And he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled. The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Agyata 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.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
Ao Onyankopɔn, woyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro hɔ; ma wʼanimuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so.
6 They prepared a snare for my feet; and they bowed down my soul. They dug a pit before my face, and they are fallen into it.
Wɔtrɛɛ asau mu de sum me nan afidie, ahohiahia brɛɛ me ase. Wɔtuu amena wɔ me kwan mu, nanso wɔn ankasa akɔtotɔ mu.
7 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will Sing, and rehearse a psalm.
Ao Onyankopɔn, mʼakoma agyina pintinn, mʼakoma nhinhim; mɛto dwom na mayi wo ayɛ.
8 Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: I will arise early.
Me kra nyane! Sankuo ne bɛnta, monnyane! Me nso mɛnyane anɔpahema.
9 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
Ao Awurade, mɛyi wo ayɛ wɔ amanaman no mu; mɛto wo ho dwom wɔ nnipa mu.
10 For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: and thy truth unto the clouds.
Wo dɔ yɛ kɛseɛ na ɛduru ɔsorosoro; wo nokorɛ kɔka ewiem.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth.
Ao Onyankopɔn, woyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ ɔsorosoro hɔ; ma wʼanimuonyam nkata asase nyinaa so.
