Nnwom 23

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade ne me hwɛfo, hwee renhia me.

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing.

2 Ɔma meda wura frɔmfrɔm adidibea; ogya me kɔ nsu a ɛho dwo ho,

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

3 odwudwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantrenee so, ne din nti.

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

4 Sɛ menam owu sum kabii mu mpo a, minsuro bɔne bi, efisɛ wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo pema na ɛkyekye me werɛ.

Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.

5 Woto me pon wɔ mʼatamfo anim. Wode ngo fɔw me tirim; me kuruwa yɛ ma bu so.

Thou has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best [wine].

6 Yiye ne adɔe nko na ebedi mʼakyi me nkwanna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fi daa.

Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
