Psalms 64

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Me Nyankopɔn, tie me, bere a mereka me haw; bɔ me kra ho ban fi ɔtamfo ahunahuna ho.

2 You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

Fa me sie fi amumɔyɛfo agyinatu ho, ne nnebɔneyɛfo pɔwbɔ ho.

3 who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

Wɔsew wɔn tɛkrɛma sɛ afoa na wɔde atirimɔden nsɛm sɔn sɛ mmɛmma werɛmfo.

4 to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

Wofi ahintawee mu, tow bɔ onipa a ne ho nni asɛm; wɔtow bɔ no mpofirim a wonsuro.

5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

Wɔhyehyɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho nkuran wɔ wɔn amumɔyɛ nhyehyɛe ho, wɔka sɛnea wobesum wɔn mfiri asie; wɔka se, “Hena na obehu yɛn?”

6 They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

Wɔbɔ ntɛnkyew ho pɔw na wɔka se, “Yɛayɛ nhyehyɛe a ɛso nni koraa!” Ampa ara onipa koma ne nʼadwene yɛ anifere.

7 and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

Nanso Onyankopɔn bɛto bɛmma abɔ wɔn; na wɔbɛhwe fam prɛko pɛ.

8 and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

Ɔbɛdan wɔn ankasa tɛkrɛma atia wɔn na ɔde wɔn aba ɔsɛe mu; na wɔn a wobehu wɔn nyinaa de animka bɛbɔ wɔn ti nko.

9 and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

Adesamma nyinaa besuro; wɔbɛpae mu aka Onyankopɔn nnwuma na wɔasusuw nea wayɛ ho.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

Ma atreneefo nni ahurusi wɔ Awurade mu na wɔmpɛ guankɔbea wɔ no mu; ma wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew nyinaa nyi no ayɛ!
