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. Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ Yuda Ɛserɛ so no na ɔtoeɛ. Ao, Onyankopɔn, wone me Onyankopɔn Mehwehwɛ wo anibereɛ so; wo ho sukɔm de me kra, me onipadua ani agyina wo, wɔ asase a awo na ɛserɛ nni so, baabi a nsuo nnie.
2 In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.
Mahunu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahunu wo tumi ne wʼanimuonyam.
3 Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!
Esiane sɛ, wʼadɔeɛ di mu sene nkwa enti mʼano fafa bɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.
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 mɛpagya me nsa.
5 As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
Me ɔkra bɛmee sɛdeɛ wadi aduane papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom bɛyi 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 dasuo mu nyinaa, medwene wo ho.
7 For thou hast become a help unto me, —And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.
Ɛfiri sɛ, wone ne ɔboafoɔ, wo ntaban ase nwunu 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.
Wɔbɛdane wɔn ama akofena na wɔbɛyɛ aduane 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 bɛdi ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wɔbɛmua atorofoɔ ano. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
