Psalms 63
1 A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, —My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land—dry, and weary for want of water, —
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 In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.
Mahu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahu wo tumi ne wʼanuonyam.
3 Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!
Esiane sɛ wʼadɔe di mu sen nkwa nti mʼanofafa bɛhyɛ wo anuonyam.
4 Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:
Sɛ mete ase yi, mɛkamfo wo, na wo din mu na mɛma me nsa so.
5 As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
Me kra bɛmee sɛnea wadi aduan papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom beyi wo ayɛ.
6 Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.
Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasu mu nyinaa, midwen wo ho.
7 For thou hast become a help unto me, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.
Efisɛ wone me boafo, wo ntaban ase nwini mu na mɛto dwom.
8 My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.
Me kra bata wo ho; na wo nsa nifa kura me mu.
9 When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
Wɔn a wɔpɛ me akum me no bɛsɛe; wɔbɛkɔ asase ase tɔnn.
10 Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.
Wɔbɛdan wɔn ama afoa na wɔbɛyɛ aduan ama sakraman.
11 But, the king, shall rejoice in God, —Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.
Nanso ɔhene bedi ahurusi wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wobemua atorofo ano.
