Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

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

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

Ɔma meda wira frɔmfrɔm adidibea mu; ɔgya me kɔ nsuo a ɛho dwoɔ ho,

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

ɔdwodwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantenenee so, ne din enti.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Sɛ menam owuo sum kabii mu mpo a, mensuro bɔne bi, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo poma na ɛkyekyere me werɛ.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

Woto me ɛpono wɔ mʼatamfoɔ anim. Wode ngo afɔ me tirim; me kuruwa ayɛ ma abu so.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Jehovah's house forever.

Yie ne adɔeɛ nko na ɛbɛdi mʼakyi me nkwa nna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fie daa.
