Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

Dawid dwom. Awurade ne me hwɛfo, hwee renhia me.

2 He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

Ɔma meda wira frɔmfrɔm adidibea mu; ɔgya me kɔ nsuo a ɛho dwoɔ ho,

3 He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

ɔdwodwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantenenee so, ne din enti.

4 For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

Sɛ menam owuo sum kabii mu mpo a, mensuro bɔne bi, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo poma na ɛkyekyere me werɛ.

5 You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

Woto me ɛpono wɔ mʼatamfoɔ anim. Wode ngo afɔ me tirim; me kuruwa ayɛ ma abu so.

6 And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.

Yie ne adɔeɛ nko na ɛbɛdi mʼakyi me nkwa nna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fie daa.
