Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Ɔma meda wura frɔmfrɔm adidibea; ogya me kɔ nsu a ɛho dwo ho,

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

odwudwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantrenee so, ne din nti.

4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Sɛ menam owu sum kabii mu mpo a, minsuro bɔne bi, efisɛ wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo pema na ɛkyekye me werɛ.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Woto me pon wɔ mʼatamfo anim. Wode ngo fɔw me tirim; me kuruwa yɛ ma bu so.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Yiye ne adɔe nko na ebedi mʼakyi me nkwanna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fi daa.
