Psalms 23

1 A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.

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

2 He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.

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

3 He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.

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

4 Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.

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 prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!

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

6 I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

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