Psalms 70

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

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

2 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

Ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me kra no anim ngu ase na wɔnyɛ basaa; ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ me sɛeɛ no nyinaa mfa animguaseɛ nsane wɔn akyi.

3 Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

Ma wɔn a wɔka, “Ɔtwea! Ɔtwea!” kyerɛ me no nsane wɔn akyi ɛsiane wɔn aniwuo enti.

4 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

Nanso ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wo nyinaa nsɛpɛ wɔn ho na wɔn ani nnye wɔ wo mu; ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo nkwagyeɛ no nka da biara sɛ, “Onyankopɔn yɛ kɛseɛ!”

5 But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

Meyɛ ohiani a menni ɔboafoɔ; Ao Onyankopɔn, bra me nkyɛn ntɛm. Wo ne me ɔboafoɔ ne me gyefoɔ; Ao Awurade, ntwentwɛn wo nan ase.
