< Psalms 61 >
1 To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
Dawid dwom. Ao, Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaebɔ.
2 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.
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 refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
Woayɛ me guankɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfo no.
4 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place 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 hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.
Woate me bɔ a mehyɛe no, Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wosuro wo din no agyapade ama me.
6 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.
To ɔhene nkwanna mu bebree; na ne mfe mfi awo ntoatoaso nkodu awo ntoatoaso.
7 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.
Ma onni hene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa fa wʼadɔe ne wo nokware bɔ ne ho ban.
8 So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
Afei mɛto ayeyi dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. De ma Yedutun.
