Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

Dawid dwom. Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ Yuda Ɛserɛ so no na ɔtoeɛ. Ao, Onyankopɔn, wone me Onyankopɔn Mehwehwɛ wo anibereɛ so; wo ho sukɔm de me kra, me onipadua ani agyina wo, wɔ asase a awo na ɛserɛ nni so, baabi a nsuo nnie.

2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

Mahunu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahunu wo tumi ne wʼanimuonyam.

3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

Esiane sɛ, wʼadɔeɛ di mu sene nkwa enti mʼano fafa bɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.

4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

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

5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

Me ɔkra bɛmee sɛdeɛ wadi aduane papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom bɛyi wo ayɛ.

6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasuo mu nyinaa, medwene wo ho.

7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

Ɛfiri sɛ, wone ne ɔboafoɔ, wo ntaban ase nwunu mu na mɛto dwom.

8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

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

9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

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

10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

Wɔbɛdane wɔn ama akofena na wɔbɛyɛ aduane ama sakraman.

11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.

Nanso ɔhene bɛdi ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wɔbɛmua atorofoɔ ano. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
