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 Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 Mahunu wo wɔ Kronkronbea hɔ mahunu wo tumi ne wʼanimuonyam.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 Esiane sɛ, wʼadɔeɛ di mu sene nkwa enti mʼano fafa bɛhyɛ wo animuonyam.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Sɛ mete ase yi, mɛkamfo wo, na wo din mu na mɛpagya me nsa.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 Me ɔkra bɛmee sɛdeɛ wadi aduane papa bi; mede anofafa a ɛto dwom bɛyi wo ayɛ.
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 Meda me mpa so a, mekae wo. Anadwo dasuo mu nyinaa, medwene wo ho.
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 Ɛfiri sɛ, wone ne ɔboafoɔ, wo ntaban ase nwunu mu na mɛto dwom.
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 Me kra bata wo ho; na wo nsa nifa kura me mu.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 Wɔn a wɔpɛ me akum me no bɛsɛe; wɔbɛkɔ asase ase tɔnn.
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 Wɔbɛdane wɔn ama akofena na wɔbɛyɛ aduane ama sakraman.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 Nanso ɔhene bɛdi ahurisie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu; wɔn a wɔka ntam wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu nyinaa bɛkamfo no, na wɔbɛmua atorofoɔ ano.
But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
