Nnwom 23

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

2 Ɔma meda wira frɔmfrɔm adidibea mu; ɔgya me kɔ nsuo a ɛho dwoɔ ho,

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

3 ɔdwodwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantenenee so, ne din enti.

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.

4 Sɛ menam owuo sum kabii mu mpo a, mensuro bɔne bi, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo poma na ɛkyekyere me werɛ.

Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

5 Woto me ɛpono wɔ mʼatamfoɔ anim. Wode ngo afɔ me tirim; me kuruwa ayɛ ma abu so.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

6 Yie ne adɔeɛ nko na ɛbɛdi mʼakyi me nkwa nna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fie daa.

Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
