The song of greces. I reiside myn iyen to the hillis; fro whannus help schal come to me.

Myn help is of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.

3 Ɔremma wo nan nwatiri, deɛ ɔhwɛ wo no, ɔrentɔ nko.

The Lord yyue not thi foot in to mouyng; nether he nappe, that kepith thee.

4 Ampa ara deɛ ɔhwɛ Israel no rentɔ nko na ɔrenna.

Lo! he schal not nappe, nether slepe; that kepith Israel.

The Lord kepith thee; the Lord is thi proteccioun aboue thi riythond.

6 Owia renhye wo wɔ awiaberɛ mu, na ɔsrane nso renha wo anadwo.

The sunne schal not brenne thee bi dai; nether the moone bi nyyt.

The Lord kepe thee fro al yuel; the Lord kepe thi soule.

8 Awurade bɛhwɛ wʼadifire ne wo efieba so, seesei ne daa.

The Lord kepe thi goyng in and thi goyng out; fro this tyme now and in to the world.
