Nnwom 61

1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoɔ. Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaeɛbɔ.

Unto the end. With hymns, of David. O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.

2 Mefiri asase ano frɛ wo, mefrɛ wo ɛfiri sɛ mʼakoma atɔ baha; fa me kɔ ɔbotan a ɛware sene me no so.

I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,

3 Woayɛ me dwanekɔbea, aban a ɛyɛ den ma ɔtamfoɔ no.

for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.

4 Me kɔn dɔ sɛ metena wo ntomadan no mu afebɔɔ na manya hintabea wɔ wo ntaban nwunu ase.

I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.

5 Woate me bɔhyɛ, Ao Onyankopɔn; na wode wɔn a wɔsuro wo din no agyapadeɛ ama me.

For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.

6 To ɔhene nkwa nna mu bebree; na ne mfeɛ mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nkɔduru awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ.

You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.

7 Ma ɔnni ɔhene wɔ Onyankopɔn anim daa. Fa wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛ bɔ ne ho ban.

He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?

8 Afei mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo din daa na madi me bɔhyɛ so daa nyinaa.

So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.
