Psalms 63

1 O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty 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 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Mahu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahu wo tumi ne wʼanuonyam.

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

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

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

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

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall 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 bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

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

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth 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.

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: but 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.
