Nnwom 61

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

For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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.

From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in 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 Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. (Selah)

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

For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

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

Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

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

May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
