Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

Dawid dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaebɔ.

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Mifi asase ano frɛ wo, mefrɛ wo, efisɛ me koma atɔ beraw; fa me kɔ ɔbotan a ɛware sen me no so.

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

Woayɛ me guankɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfo no.

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

Me kɔn dɔ sɛ metena wo ntamadan no mu afebɔɔ na manya guankɔbea wɔ wo ntaban nwini ase.

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

Woate me bɔ a mehyɛe no, Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wosuro wo din no agyapade ama me.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

To ɔhene nkwanna mu bebree; na ne mfe mfi awo ntoatoaso nkodu awo ntoatoaso.

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

Ma onni hene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa fa wʼadɔe ne wo nokware bɔ ne ho ban.

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

Afei mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. De ma Yedutun.
