Psalms 63

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.

Dawid dwom. Bere a ɔwɔ Yuda Sare so no na ɔtoe. Wo, Onyankopɔn, ne me Nyankopɔn Mehwehwɛ wo anibere so; wo ho sukɔm de me kra, me nipadua ani agyina wo, wɔ asase a awo na asade nni mu so, faako a nsu nni.

2 So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.

Mahu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahu wo tumi ne wʼanuonyam.

3 For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

Esiane sɛ wʼadɔe di mu sen nkwa nti mʼanofafa bɛhyɛ wo anuonyam.

4 So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.

Sɛ mete ase yi, mɛkamfo wo, na wo din mu na mɛma me nsa so.

5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;

Me kra bɛmee sɛnea wadi aduan papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom beyi wo ayɛ.

6 When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.

Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasu mu nyinaa, midwen wo ho.

7 For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.

Efisɛ wone me boafo, wo ntaban ase nwini mu na mɛto dwom.

8 My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.

Me kra bata wo ho; na wo nsa nifa kura me mu.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.

Wɔn a wɔpɛ me akum me no bɛsɛe; wɔbɛkɔ asase ase tɔnn.

10 They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.

Wɔbɛdan wɔn ama afoa na wɔbɛyɛ aduan ama sakraman.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Nanso ɔhene bedi ahurusi wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wobemua atorofo ano. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
