To the Overseer. — 'On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' — A Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts!
2 Me kra pere, mpo ɛtɔ piti, sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Awurade adihɔ; mʼakoma ne me honam team frɛ Onyankopɔn ɔteasefoɔ.
My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the living God,
3 Mpo akasanoma anya fie, na asomfena nso anwono ne pirebuo, baabi a ɔbɛhwane ne mma wɔ beaeɛ bi a ɛbɛn wʼafɔrebukyia, Ao Asafo Awurade, me Ɔhene ne me Onyankopɔn.
(Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest for herself, Where she hath placed her brood, ) Thine altars, O Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God.
4 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔte wo fie; na wɔkamfo wo din daa.
O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they praise Thee. (Selah)
5 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔwɔ wo mu ahoɔden, na wɔde wɔn akoma hyɛ akwantuo ase kɔhwehwɛ wo.
O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee, Highways [are] in their heart.
6 Sɛ wɔfa Baka Bɔnhwa no mu a, wɔma hɔ yɛ nsuwansuwa; osutɔberɛ nsuo nso de nhyira pii kata asase no so.
Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do make it, Blessings also cover the director.
7 Wɔkɔ no ahoɔden so berɛ nyinaa, kɔsi sɛ wɔn mu biara bɛpue Onyankopɔn anim wɔ Sion.
They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.
8 Ao Asafo Awurade, Onyankopɔn tie me mpaeɛbɔ; Ao Yakob Onyankopɔn, yɛ aso ma me.
O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Ao Onyankopɔn, hwɛ yɛn akokyɛm; fa ahummɔborɔ hwɛ deɛ woasra no ngo no.
Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine anointed,
10 Wʼadihɔ hɔ da korɔ tena yɛ sene nnafua apem wɔ baabi foforɔ; mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn fie sene sɛ mɛtena amumuyɛfoɔ ntomadan mu.
For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God, Than to dwell in tents of wickedness.
11 Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade Onyankopɔn yɛ owia ne ɛkyɛm; Awurade hunu mmɔbɔ na ɔhyɛ animuonyam; ɔremfa ade pa biara nkame wɔn a wɔteneɛ.
For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in uprightness.
12 Ao Asafo Awurade, nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to wo so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.
