Psalms 61

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaeɛbɔ.

2 From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

Mefiri asase ano frɛ wo, mefrɛ wo ɛfiri sɛ mʼakoma atɔ baha; fa me kɔ ɔbotan a ɛware sene me no so.

3 For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

Woayɛ me dwanekɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfoɔ no.

4 I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

Me kɔn dɔ sɛ metena wo ntomadan no mu afebɔɔ na manya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.

5 For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

Woate me bɔhyɛ, Ao Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wɔsuro wo din no agyapadeɛ ama me.

6 Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

To ɔhene nkwa nna mu bebree; na ne mfeɛ mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nkɔduru awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ.

7 Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

Ma ɔnni ɔhene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa. Fa wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ bɔ ne ho ban.

8 So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.

Afei mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ Yedutun.
