Psalms 91
1 The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
Deɛ ɔte Ɔsorosoroni no hintabea bɛhome wɔ Otumfoɔ no nwunu mu.
2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
Mɛse Awurade sɛ, “Woyɛ me dwanekɔbea ne mʼabankɛseɛ, me Onyankopɔn a mewɔ wo mu ahotosoɔ.”
3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
Ampa ara, ɔbɛgye wo afiri fidisumfoɔ afidie mu ne owuyadeɛ mu.
4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
Ɔde ne ntakra bɛkata wo so; na ne ntaban ase na wobɛnya dwanekɔbea; ne nokorɛ bɛyɛ wo banbɔ ne wo kyɛm.
5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
Worensuro anadwo mu ahunahuna, anaa bɛmma a ɛtu awia,
6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
anaa owuyadeɛ a ɛba esum mu, anaa ɔyaredɔm a ɛsɛe owigyinaeɛ.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
Apem bɛtotɔ wo nkyɛn mu, na ɔpedu bɛtotɔ wo nifa, nanso, wo deɛ, ɛrenka wo.
8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
Wʼani nko ara na wode bɛhwɛ na woahunu nnebɔneyɛfoɔ asotwe.
9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
Sɛ wode Ɔsorosoroni no yɛ wo tenabea, mpo Awurade a ɔyɛ me dwanekɔbea no a,
10 There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
ɔhaw biara remma wo so, na amanehunu biara remmɛn wo ntomadan.
11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
Ɛfiri sɛ ɔbɛhyɛ nʼabɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ wo so no abɛbɔ wo ho ban wʼakwan nyinaa mu;
12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
wɔde wɔn nsa bɛpagya wo, na wo nan rensunti ɔboɔ.
13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Wobɛtiatia agyata ne aprammire so, wobɛnante gyataburuwa ne ɔtweaseɛ so.
14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
Awurade ka sɛ, “Esiane sɛ ɔdɔ me enti, mɛgye no; mɛbɔ ne ho ban, ɛfiri sɛ ɔnim me din.
15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
Ɔbɛfrɛ me, na mɛgye ne so; mɛka ne ho wɔ amanehunu mu, mɛgye no, na mahyɛ no animuonyam.
16 I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
Mɛma nkwa nna a ɛware amee no na makyerɛ no me nkwagyeɛ.”
