Nnwom 63
1 Dawid dwom. Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ Yuda Ɛserɛ so no na ɔtoeɛ. Ao, Onyankopɔn, wone me Onyankopɔn Mehwehwɛ wo anibereɛ so; wo ho sukɔm de me kra, me onipadua ani agyina wo, wɔ asase a awo na ɛserɛ nni so, baabi a nsuo nnie.
A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom. O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
2 Mahunu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahunu wo tumi ne wʼanimuonyam.
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
3 Esiane sɛ, wʼadɔeɛ di mu sene nkwa enti mʼano fafa bɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
4 Sɛ mete ase yi, mɛkamfo wo, na wo din mu na mɛpagya me nsa.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
5 Me ɔkra bɛmee sɛdeɛ wadi aduane papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom bɛyi wo ayɛ.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
6 Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasuo mu nyinaa, medwene wo ho.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
7 Ɛfiri sɛ, wone ne ɔboafoɔ, wo ntaban ase nwunu mu na mɛto dwom.
Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
8 Me kra bata wo ho; na wo nsa nifa kura me mu.
My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
9 Wɔn a wɔpɛ me akum me no bɛsɛe; wɔbɛkɔ asase ase tɔnn.
But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
10 Wɔbɛdane wɔn ama akofena na wɔbɛyɛ aduane ama sakraman.
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
11 Nanso ɔhene bɛdi ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wɔbɛmua atorofoɔ ano. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
