Nnwom 23

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade ne me hwɛfo, hwee renhia me.

[A Psalm by David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I will not lack.

2 Ɔma meda wira frɔmfrɔm adidibea mu; ɔgya me kɔ nsuo a ɛho dwoɔ ho,

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 ɔdwodwo me kra. Ɔde me fa akwantenenee so, ne din enti.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Sɛ menam owuo sum kabii mu mpo a, mensuro bɔne bi, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ne me na ɛwɔ hɔ; wʼabaa ne wo poma na ɛkyekyere me werɛ.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 Woto me ɛpono wɔ mʼatamfoɔ anim. Wode ngo afɔ me tirim; me kuruwa ayɛ ma abu so.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

6 Yie ne adɔeɛ nko na ɛbɛdi mʼakyi me nkwa nna nyinaa; na mɛtena Awurade fie daa.

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.
