Nnwom 91
1 Deɛ ɔte Ɔsorosoroni no hintabea bɛhome wɔ Otumfoɔ no nwunu mu.
HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Mɛse Awurade sɛ, “Woyɛ me dwanekɔbea ne mʼabankɛseɛ, me Onyankopɔn a mewɔ wo mu ahotosoɔ.”
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Ampa ara, ɔbɛgye wo afiri fidisumfoɔ afidie mu ne owuyadeɛ mu.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 Ɔde ne ntakra bɛkata wo so; na ne ntaban ase na wobɛnya dwanekɔbea; ne nokorɛ bɛyɛ wo banbɔ ne wo kyɛm.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Worensuro anadwo mu ahunahuna, anaa bɛmma a ɛtu awia,
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 anaa owuyadeɛ a ɛba esum mu, anaa ɔyaredɔm a ɛsɛe owigyinaeɛ.
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 Apem bɛtotɔ wo nkyɛn mu, na ɔpedu bɛtotɔ wo nifa, nanso, wo deɛ, ɛrenka wo.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Wʼani nko ara na wode bɛhwɛ na woahunu nnebɔneyɛfoɔ asotwe.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Sɛ wode Ɔsorosoroni no yɛ wo tenabea, mpo Awurade a ɔyɛ me dwanekɔbea no a,
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 ɔhaw biara remma wo so, na amanehunu biara remmɛn wo ntomadan.
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 Ɛfiri sɛ ɔbɛhyɛ nʼabɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ wo so no abɛbɔ wo ho ban wʼakwan nyinaa mu;
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 wɔde wɔn nsa bɛpagya wo, na wo nan rensunti ɔboɔ.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Wobɛtiatia agyata ne aprammire so, wobɛnante gyataburuwa ne ɔtweaseɛ so.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Awurade ka sɛ, “Esiane sɛ ɔdɔ me enti, mɛgye no; mɛbɔ ne ho ban, ɛfiri sɛ ɔnim me din.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 Ɔbɛfrɛ me, na mɛgye ne so; mɛka ne ho wɔ amanehunu mu, mɛgye no, na mahyɛ no animuonyam.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 Mɛma nkwa nna a ɛware amee no na makyerɛ no me nkwagyeɛ.”
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
