1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Awurade, gye me fi nnebɔneyɛfo nsam; bɔ me ho ban fi basabasayɛfo nsam,
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo LikaDavida. Ngilamulela, Oh Thixo, ebantwini ababi; ngivikela ebantwini bodlakela,
2 wɔn a wodwen bɔne wɔ wɔn koma mu na wɔhwanyan ɔko mu da biara.
abakha amacebo amabi ezinhliziyweni zabo bahlokomise impi ukusa kwamalanga.
3 Wɔsew wɔn tɛkrɛma ano te sɛ ɔwɔ de; nhurutoa bɔre wɔ wɔn ano.
Benza izindimi zabo zicije njengezenyoka; ubuhlungu benhlangwana busezindebeni zabo.
4 Awurade, yi me fi amumɔyɛfo nsam; bɔ me ho ban fi basabasayɛfo a wodwen sɛ wobetwintwan mʼanan mu no ho.
Ngivikela, Oh Thixo, ezandleni zababi; ngiphephisa ebantwini bodlakela abaceba ukungigwenxa.
5 Ahantanfo asum me afiri; wɔatrɛtrɛw wɔn asau ahama mu wɔasunsum me mfiri wɔ me kwan so.
Abantu abazigqajayo bangifihlele isifu; sebewanwebile amambule abo bangithiya lapha lalapha endleleni yami.
6 Awurade, meka kyerɛ wo se, “Wone me Nyankopɔn.” Awurade, tie me mmɔborɔsu.
Oh Thixo, ngithi kuwe, “UnguNkulunkulu wami.” Zwana, ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
7 Otumfo Awurade, me gyefo hoɔdenfo, wokata me ti so wɔ ɔko da,
Oh Thixo wobukhosi, mhlengi wami olamandla, ovikela ikhanda lami ngelanga lempi
8 nyɛ amumɔyɛfo abisade mma wɔn, Awurade; mma wɔn nhyehyɛe nnyɛ yiye.
ungavumeli ababi izifiso zabo Oh Thixo; ungayekeli amacebo abo ukuthi aphumelele, funa bazigqaje.
9 Wɔatwa me ho ahyia, nanso, ma amumɔyɛsɛm a efi wɔn anom no nsɛe wɔn.
Akuthi ingqondo zalabo abangihanqileyo zandelwe luhlupho oludalwe yizindebe zabo.
10 Ma nnyansramma ngu wɔn so; ma wɔntow wɔn ngu ogya mu, ngu dontori amoa mu a wɔrensɔre bio.
Akuthi amalahle avuthayo abakhithikele; sengathi bangaphoselwa emlilweni, emigodini ebhixa udaka, bangavuki futhi.
11 Mma dinsɛefo ase ntim asase no so; ma amanehunu ntaataa kitikitiyɛfo.
Akuthi abahlebayo bangatholi indawo elizweni; akuthi umnyama ubahlale izithende abantu bochuku.
12 Minim sɛ Awurade bu ahiafo atɛntrenee na odi onnibi asɛm ma no.
Ngiyazi ukuthi uThixo ubenzela okulungileyo abayanga, ubamele abaswelayo.
13 Ampa ara, atreneefo bɛkamfo wo din na wɔn a wɔnam tee no bɛtena nkwa mu wɔ wʼanim.
Ngempela abalungileyo bazalidumisa ibizo lakho labaqotho bazahlala phambi kwakho.
