Psalms 63

1 O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.

Dawid dwom. Bere a ɔwɔ Yuda Sare so no na ɔtoe. Wo, Onyankopɔn, ne me Nyankopɔn Mehwehwɛ wo anibere so; wo ho sukɔm de me kra, me nipadua ani agyina wo, wɔ asase a awo na asade nni mu so, faako a nsu nni.

2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

Mahu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahu wo tumi ne wʼanuonyam.

3 Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Esiane sɛ wʼadɔe di mu sen nkwa nti mʼanofafa bɛhyɛ wo anuonyam.

4 So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Sɛ mete ase yi, mɛkamfo wo, na wo din mu na mɛma me nsa so.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

Me kra bɛmee sɛnea wadi aduan papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom beyi wo ayɛ.

6 when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches.

Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasu mu nyinaa, midwen wo ho.

7 For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

Efisɛ wone me boafo, wo ntaban ase nwini mu na mɛto dwom.

8 My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me.

Me kra bata wo ho; na wo nsa nifa kura me mu.

9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Wɔn a wɔpɛ me akum me no bɛsɛe; wɔbɛkɔ asase ase tɔnn.

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

Wɔbɛdan wɔn ama afoa na wɔbɛyɛ aduan ama sakraman.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Nanso ɔhene bedi ahurusi wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wobemua atorofo ano. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
