Psalms 61

1 To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaeɛbɔ.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

Mefiri asase ano frɛ wo, mefrɛ wo ɛfiri sɛ mʼakoma atɔ baha; fa me kɔ ɔbotan a ɛware sene me no so.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

Woayɛ me dwanekɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfoɔ no.

4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Me kɔn dɔ sɛ metena wo ntomadan no mu afebɔɔ na manya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

Woate me bɔhyɛ, Ao Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wɔsuro wo din no agyapadeɛ ama me.

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

To ɔhene nkwa nna mu bebree; na ne mfeɛ mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nkɔduru awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Ma ɔnni ɔhene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa. Fa wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ bɔ ne ho ban.

8 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

Afei mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa.
