Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
Dawid mpaeɛbɔ. Bɔ me ho ban, Ao Onyankopɔn, na wo mu na menya hintabea.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
Meka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “MʼAwurade ne wo; menni adepa biara ka wo ho.”
3 [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
Ahotefoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so deɛ, wɔne animuonyamfoɔ a mʼanigyeɛ wɔ wɔn mu.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god: ] their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
Wɔn a wɔdi anyame afoforɔ akyire no wɔn awerɛhoɔ bɛdɔɔso. Merenyi wɔn mogya apaeɛ no bi na meremfa mʼano memmɔ wɔn din.
5 The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
Awurade, wode me kyɛfa ne me kuruwa ama me; woama me kyɛfa anya banbɔ.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places; ] yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Mʼahyeɛ akɔdeda mmea a ɛhɔ yɛ ahomeka; ampa ara mewɔ agyapadeɛ a ɛho yɛ anigye.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
Mɛkamfo Awurade a ɔtu me fo; na anadwo mpo mʼakoma kyerɛkyerɛ me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Mehunu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa enti, merenhinhim da.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Ɛno enti, me kra ani gye, na mede me tɛkrɛma di ahurisie; me onipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoeɛ mu,
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
ɛfiri sɛ, worennya me awufoɔ mu. Na woremma wo Kronkronni no mporɔ. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.
Woakyerɛ me nkwagyeɛ kwan, na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim, na anika a ɛrensa da wɔ wo nifa so.
