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. Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ Yuda Ɛserɛ so no na ɔtoeɛ. Ao, Onyankopɔn, wone me Onyankopɔn Mehwehwɛ wo anibereɛ so; wo ho sukɔm de me kra, me onipadua ani agyina wo, wɔ asase a awo na ɛserɛ nni so, baabi a nsuo nnie.

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

Mahunu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahunu wo tumi ne wʼanimuonyam.

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

Esiane sɛ, wʼadɔeɛ di mu sene nkwa enti mʼano fafa bɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.

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 mɛpagya me nsa.

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

Me ɔkra bɛmee sɛdeɛ wadi aduane papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom bɛyi 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 dasuo mu nyinaa, medwene wo ho.

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

Ɛfiri sɛ, wone ne ɔboafoɔ, wo ntaban ase nwunu 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.

Wɔbɛdane wɔn ama akofena na wɔbɛyɛ aduane 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 bɛdi ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wɔbɛmua atorofoɔ ano. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
