1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade gye me firi nnipa bɔne nsam; bɔ me ho ban firi basabasayɛfoɔ nsam,
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo LikaDavida. Ngilamulela, Oh Thixo, ebantwini ababi; ngivikela ebantwini bodlakela,
2 wɔn a wɔdwene bɔne wɔ wɔn akoma mu na wɔhwanyane ɔko mu da biara.
abakha amacebo amabi ezinhliziyweni zabo bahlokomise impi ukusa kwamalanga.
3 Wɔse wɔn tɛkrɛma ano te sɛ ɔtweaseɛ deɛ; ananka borɔ wɔ wɔn ano.
Benza izindimi zabo zicije njengezenyoka; ubuhlungu benhlangwana busezindebeni zabo.
4 Ao Awurade, yi me firi amumuyɛfoɔ nsam; bɔ me ho ban firi basabasayɛfoɔ a wɔdwene sɛ wɔbɛtwintwan mʼanan mu.
Ngivikela, Oh Thixo, ezandleni zababi; ngiphephisa ebantwini bodlakela abaceba ukungigwenxa.
5 Ahantanfoɔ asum me afidie; wɔatrɛtrɛ wɔn asau nhoma mu, wɔasunsum me mfidie wɔ me kwan so.
Abantu abazigqajayo bangifihlele isifu; sebewanwebile amambule abo bangithiya lapha lalapha endleleni yami.
6 Ao Awurade, meka kyerɛ wo sɛ, “Wone me Onyankopɔn.” Ao Awurade, tie me mmɔborɔ su.
Oh Thixo, ngithi kuwe, “UnguNkulunkulu wami.” Zwana, ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
7 Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, me gyefoɔ ɔhoɔdenfoɔ a wobɔ me tiri ban ɔko da,
Oh Thixo wobukhosi, mhlengi wami olamandla, ovikela ikhanda lami ngelanga lempi
8 nyɛ amumuyɛfoɔ abisadeɛ mma wɔn, Ao Awurade; mma wɔn nhyehyɛeɛ nyɛ yie.
ungavumeli ababi izifiso zabo Oh Thixo; ungayekeli amacebo abo ukuthi aphumelele, funa bazigqaje.
9 Wɔatwa me ho ahyia, nanso, ma amumuyɛsɛm a ɛfiri wɔn anomu nsɛe wɔn.
Akuthi ingqondo zalabo abangihanqileyo zandelwe luhlupho oludalwe yizindebe zabo.
10 Ma nnyasrama ngu wɔn so; ma wɔnto wɔn ngu ogya mu, ngu atɛkyɛ amena mu a wɔrensɔre bio.
Akuthi amalahle avuthayo abakhithikele; sengathi bangaphoselwa emlilweni, emigodini ebhixa udaka, bangavuki futhi.
11 Mma dinsɛefoɔ ntim asase no so; ma amanehunu ntaataa basabasayɛfoɔ.
Akuthi abahlebayo bangatholi indawo elizweni; akuthi umnyama ubahlale izithende abantu bochuku.
12 Menim sɛ Awurade bu ahiafoɔ atɛntenenee na ɔka onnibie asɛm ma no.
Ngiyazi ukuthi uThixo ubenzela okulungileyo abayanga, ubamele abaswelayo.
13 Ampa ara, teneneefoɔ bɛkamfo wo din na wɔn a wɔnam tee no bɛtena nkwa mu wɔ wʼanim.
Ngempela abalungileyo bazalidumisa ibizo lakho labaqotho bazahlala phambi kwakho.
