Psalms 61

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaeɛbɔ.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Mefiri asase ano frɛ wo, mefrɛ wo ɛfiri sɛ mʼakoma atɔ baha; fa me kɔ ɔbotan a ɛware sene me no so.

3 For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Woayɛ me dwanekɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfoɔ no.

4 I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. (Selah)

Me kɔn dɔ sɛ metena wo ntomadan no mu afebɔɔ na manya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.

5 For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.

Woate me bɔhyɛ, Ao Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wɔsuro wo din no agyapadeɛ ama me.

6 You will prolong the king’s life: and his years 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: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

Ma ɔnni ɔhene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa. Fa wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ bɔ ne ho ban.

8 So will I sing praise to your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Afei mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ Yedutun.
