Psalms 23

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

Dawid dwom. Awurade ne me hwɛfo, hwee renhia me.

2 He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

Ɔma meda wura frɔmfrɔm adidibea; ogya me kɔ nsu a ɛho dwo ho,

3 He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

odwudwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantrenee so, ne din nti.

4 Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

Sɛ menam owu sum kabii mu mpo a, minsuro bɔne bi, efisɛ wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo pema na ɛkyekye me werɛ.

5 You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

Woto me pon wɔ mʼatamfo anim. Wode ngo fɔw me tirim; me kuruwa yɛ ma bu so.

6 Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!

Yiye ne adɔe nko na ebedi mʼakyi me nkwanna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fi daa.
