Nnwom 6
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ ɔmfa sankuhama nto wɔ Seminit nne so. Dawid dwom. Awurade nka mʼanim wɔ wʼabufuw mu, na ntwe mʼaso nso wɔ wʼabufuwhyew mu.
[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.] Jehovah, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2 Hu me mmɔbɔ, Awurade, efisɛ meyɛ mmrɛw; Awurade sa me yare na me nnompe wɔ ahoyeraw mu.
Be gracious to me, Jehovah, for I am frail. Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are trembling.
3 Me kra wɔ ahohia mu. Enkosi da bɛn, Ao Awurade, enkosi da bɛn?
And my soul is greatly troubled. But you, Jehovah, how long?
4 San bra, Awurade, na begye me nkwa; gye me, wo dɔ a enni nhuammɔ no nti.
Return, Jehovah. Deliver my soul. Save me because of your lovingkindness.
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Apinisi ama mayɛ mmerɛw. Anadwo mu nyinaa mede agyaadwotwa fɔw me mpa, na me nusu fɔw me sumii.
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I drench my bed; I melt my couch with my tears.
7 Awerɛhow ama mʼani so ayɛ me kusuu. Ɛredum; mʼatamfo nyinaa nti.
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8 Mo nnebɔneyɛfo, montwe mo ho mfi me ho! efisɛ Awurade ate me sufrɛ.
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the sound of my weeping.
9 Awurade ate me mmɔborɔsu; Awurade tie me sufrɛ.
Jehovah has heard my plea. Jehovah has accepted my prayer.
10 Mʼatamfo nyinaa anim begu ase na wɔn ho adwiriw wɔn; na wɔapatuw de fɛre asan wɔn akyi.
May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified. May they turn back, suddenly ashamed.
