2 Meka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “MʼAwurade ne wo; menni adepa biara ka wo ho.”
3 Ahotefoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so deɛ, wɔne animuonyamfoɔ a mʼanigyeɛ wɔ wɔn mu.
4 Wɔn a wɔdi anyame afoforɔ akyire no wɔn awerɛhoɔ bɛdɔɔso. Merenyi wɔn mogya apaeɛ no bi na meremfa mʼano memmɔ wɔn din.
5 Awurade, wode me kyɛfa ne me kuruwa ama me; woama me kyɛfa anya banbɔ.
6 Mʼahyeɛ akɔdeda mmea a ɛhɔ yɛ ahomeka; ampa ara mewɔ agyapadeɛ a ɛho yɛ anigye.
