Psalms 63

1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.

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 So I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.

Mahu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahu wo tumi ne wʼanuonyam.

3 Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.

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

4 So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.

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

5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.

Me kra bɛmee sɛnea wadi aduan papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom beyi wo ayɛ.

6 If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.

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

7 For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

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

8 My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.

Me kra bata wo ho; na wo nsa nifa kura me mu.

9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.

Wɔbɛdan wɔn ama afoa na wɔbɛyɛ aduan ama sakraman.

11 And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is 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.
