Nnwom 61

1 Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, tie me sufrɛ; tie me mpaeɛbɔ.

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, 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.

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

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

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

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

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

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

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

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

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
