Psalms 63

1 O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty 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 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

Mahunu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahunu wo tumi ne wʼanimuonyam.

3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

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

4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.

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

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:

Me ɔkra bɛmee sɛdeɛ wadi aduane papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom bɛyi wo ayɛ.

6 When I remember you on my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.

Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasuo mu nyinaa, medwene wo ho.

7 Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.

Ɛfiri sɛ, wone ne ɔboafoɔ, wo ntaban ase nwunu mu na mɛto dwom.

8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.

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 lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They shall fall by 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 swears by him shall glory: but 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.
