Lord, thi riytfulnesse is riytfulnesse with outen ende; and thi lawe is treuthe.
143 Ɔhaw ne awerɛhow aba me so, nanso wo mmara nsɛm ma me ahosɛpɛw.
Tribulacioun and angwische founden me; thin heestis is my thenking.
144 Wʼahyɛde yɛ nokware daa; ma me ntease na manya nkwa.
Thi witnessyngis is equite with outen ende; yyue thou vndirstondyng to me, and Y schal lyue.
145 Awurade, mede me koma nyinaa mefrɛ wo, gye me so, na medi wo hyɛ nsɛm no so.

149 Tie me nne sɛnea wʼadɔe no te; Awurade, kyɛe me nkwa so sɛnea wo mmara te.
Lord, here thou my vois bi thi merci; and quykene thou me bi thi doom.
150 Wɔn a wɔhyehyɛ atirimɔdensɛm no abɛn, nanso wɔne wo mmara ntam ware.
Thei that pursuen me neiyden to wickidnesse; forsothe thei ben maad fer fro thi lawe.

Lord, thou art nyy; and alle thi weies ben treuthe.
152 Mmere bi a atwa mu no, misuaa wʼahyɛde a wode tim hɔ sɛ ɛntena hɔ daa no.
In the bigynnyng Y knewe of thi witnessingis; for thou hast foundid tho with outen ende.
153 Hwɛ mʼamanehunu na gye me nkwa efisɛ me werɛ mfii wo mmara no.
Se thou my mekenesse, and delyuere thou me; for Y foryat not thi lawe.
154 Di mʼasɛm ma me na gye me; kyɛe me nkwa so sɛnea wo bɔhyɛ no te.
Deme thou my dom, and ayenbie thou me; quikene thou me for thi speche.
155 Nkwagye ne atirimɔdenfo ntam kwan ware, efisɛ wɔnhwehwɛ wo hyɛ nsɛm no.
Heelthe is fer fro synners; for thei souyten not thi iustifiyngis.
156 Awurade, wʼayamhyehye yɛ kɛse; kyɛe me nkwa so sɛnea wo mmara no te.
Lord, thi mercies ben manye; quykene thou me bi thi dom.
157 Atamfo a wɔteetee me dɔɔso, nanso memman mfii wo nhyehyɛe ho.
Thei ben manye that pursuen me, and doen tribulacioun to me; Y bowide not awei fro thi witnessingis.
158 Mehwɛ wɔn a wonni gyidi no a wɔn ho yɛ me nwini, efisɛ wonni wʼasɛm so.
I siy brekers of the lawe, and Y was meltid; for thei kepten not thi spechis.
159 Hwɛ sɛnea mʼani gye wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ho; Awurade, kyɛe me nkwa so sɛnea wʼadɔe te.
Lord, se thou, for Y louede thi comaundementis; quikene thou me in thi merci.
160 Wo nsɛm nyinaa yɛ nokware; na wo mmara a ɛteɛ no to rentwa da.
The bigynnyng of thi wordis is treuthe; alle the domes of thi riytwisnesse ben withouten ende.
161 Sodifo taataa me kwa, nanso ɛyɛ wʼasɛm nko ara na misuro.
Princes pursueden me with outen cause; and my herte dredde of thi wordis.
162 Mʼani gye wo bɔhyɛ ho te sɛ obi a wanya asade kɛse.

165 Wɔn a wɔdɔ wo mmara no wɔ asomdwoe mmoroso, na biribiara rentumi mma wonhintiw.
Miche pees is to hem that louen thi lawe; and no sclaundir is to hem.
166 Awurade, metwɛn wo nkwagye, na midi wo mmara nsɛm so.
Lord, Y abood thin heelthe; and Y louede thin heestis.
167 Midi wʼahyɛde so na medɔ no yiye.
Mi soule kepte thi witnessyngis; and louede tho greetli.
168 Midi wo nkyerɛkyerɛ ne wʼahyɛde so, na wunim mʼakwan nyinaa.
I kepte thi `comaundementis, and thi witnessingis; for alle my weies ben in thi siyt.
169 Awurade, ma me sufrɛ nnu wʼanim; ma me ntease sɛnea wʼasɛm no te.
Lord, my biseching come niy in thi siyt; bi thi speche yyue thou vndurstonding to me.
170 Ma me nkotosrɛ nnu wʼanim; na gye me sɛnea wo bɔhyɛ no te.

Mi tunge schal pronounce thi speche; for whi alle thi comaundementis ben equite.
173 Ma wo nsa nyɛ krado mmɛboa me, efisɛ maso wo nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu.
Thin hond be maad, that it saue me; for Y haue chose thin heestis.
174 Awurade, mʼani agyina wo nkwagye, na wo mmara yɛ mʼanigyede.
Lord, Y coueitide thin heelthe; and thi lawe is my thenking.
175 Ma mentena nkwa mu na matumi akamfo wo, na wo mmara nso awowaw me.
Mi soule schal lyue, and schal herie thee; and thi domes schulen helpe me.
176 Mafom kwan sɛ oguan a wayera. Hwehwɛ wo somfo, efisɛ me werɛ mfii wo mmara nsɛm no ɛ.
I erride as a scheep that perischide; Lord, seke thi seruaunt, for Y foryat not thi comaundementis.
