Psalms 61

1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto. Dawid dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaebɔ.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.

Mifi asase ano frɛ wo, mefrɛ wo, efisɛ me koma atɔ beraw; fa me kɔ ɔbotan a ɛware sen me no so.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.

Woayɛ me guankɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfo no.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Me kɔn dɔ sɛ metena wo ntamadan no mu afebɔɔ na manya guankɔbea wɔ wo ntaban nwini ase.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Woate me bɔ a mehyɛe no, Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wosuro wo din no agyapade ama me.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as many generations.

To ɔhene nkwanna mu bebree; na ne mfe mfi awo ntoatoaso nkodu awo ntoatoaso.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.

Ma onni hene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa fa wʼadɔe ne wo nokware bɔ ne ho ban.

8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Afei mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa.
