Nnwom 23

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

“A psalm of David.” The LORD is my shepherd: I shall not want.

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

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

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

He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, 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.

When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook and thy staff, they comfort me.

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

Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

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

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
