Of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 wo so, Ao me Onyankopɔn, na mede me ho to. Mma mʼanim ngu ase na mma mʼatamfoɔ nso nni me so nkonim.
in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.
3 Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wo so no mu biara ani renwu da, mmom, wɔn a wɔyɛ kɔntɔnkye no anim bɛgu ase.
Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced.

Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.

Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and loving devotion, for they are from age to age.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him.
13 Ɔbɛdi yie wɔ ne nkwa nna mu, na nʼasefoɔ afa asase no sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.
