Psalms 61

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

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. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ Yedutun.
