1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Awurade akoa Dawid dwom. Ɔtoo saa dwom yi maa Awurade, bere a ogyee no fii nʼatamfo nyinaa ne Saulo nsam no. Medɔ wo, Awurade, mʼahoɔden.
2 Awurade ne me botantim; mʼaban ne me gyefo; me Nyankopɔn yɛ me botan. Ne mu na minya me hintabea. Ɔyɛ me nkatabo, me nkwagye abɛn ne mʼabandennen.
3 Misu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayeyi sɛ no, efisɛ ogye me fi mʼatamfo nsam.
4 Owu nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn kyekyeree me; na ɔsɛe asorɔkye bu faa me so.
5 Ɔda mu hama kyekyeree me; mihyiaa owu mfiri. (Sheol )
6 Mʼahohia mu, misu frɛɛ Awurade. Misu frɛɛ me Nyankopɔn hwehwɛɛ mmoa. Ofi nʼasɔrefi hɔ tee me nne; me sufrɛ baa nʼanim, na ɛkɔɔ nʼasom.

11 Ɔde sum kataa ne ho, osu a amuna tumm atwa ne ho ahyia.
12 Hann kɛse hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na omununkum a mparuwbo ne anyinam wɔ mu fii ne ho hyerɛn mu bae.
13 Awurade bobɔɔ mu fii ɔsoro; Ɔsorosoroni no nne gyigyee bio.
14 Ɔtow ne bɛmma no de bɔɔ atamfo no ahwete, ɔde anyinam a ano yɛn den pam wɔn.

23 Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim, na matwe me ho afi bɔne ho.
24 Awurade agyina me treneeyɛ ne me nsa a ho tew wɔ nʼanim no so atua me ka.
25 Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafo kyerɛ wɔn a wodi nokware, wɔn a wodi mu nso wokyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
26 Woyɛ kronkron ma wɔn a wɔyɛ kronkron, na amumɔyɛfo de, wukyi wɔn.
27 Wugye ahobrɛasefo nkwa, na wobrɛ ahantanfo ase.
28 Awurade, woma me kanea hyerɛn. Yiw, woma me sum dan hann.
29 Wʼahoɔden a wode ma me nti, mitumi ka asraafo gu; me Nyankopɔn nti, mitumi foro ɔfasu.
30 Onyankopɔn de, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ nkatabo ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ bammɔ wɔ ne mu.
31 Na hena na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn ka Awurade ho? Hena na ɔyɛ Ɔbotan no? Gye sɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn no.
32 Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔma me ahoɔden, na ɔma me kwan yɛ pɛ.
33 Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforote de. Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
34 Osiesie me ma ɔko, na me basa tumi kuntun kɔbere mfrafrae tadua.

41 Wosu hwehwɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammegye wɔn, wɔfrɛɛ Awurade, nanso wammua.
42 Meyam wɔn sɛ mfutuma a mframa bɔ gu; mihwiee wɔn guu sɛ mmɔnten so dontori.
43 Woagye me afi nnipa no ɔfow mu, woayɛ me amanaman no ti; nnipa a minnim wɔn abɛyɛ mʼasomfo.
44 Wɔte me nka pɛ a, wɔyɛ osetie ma me; ananafo kotow mʼanim.

46 Awurade te ase! Ayeyi nka me Botan! Wɔmma Onyankopɔn, me Gyefo no din so!
47 Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ were ma me, ɔno na ɔka amanaman hyɛ mʼase,
