2 Mekɔ n’anim kɔka me dadwen kyerɛ no;Mekɔ n’anim kɔka m’ahohia kyerɛ no+
3 Bere a me honhom abotow* wɔ me mu no.
Ɛba saa a, wokyerɛ m’anammɔn kwan.+
Ɔkwan a mefa so no,Wɔasum afiri wɔ so de ahintaw me.
4 Hwɛ me nifa so, na wubehuSɛ obiara nni hɔ a odwen me ho.*+
Minni baabiara a meguan akɔ;+Me* ho nhia obiara.
5 O Yehowa, misu frɛ wo sɛ boa me.
Meka sɛ: “Wone me guankɔbea;+Me wiase nyinaa* ne wo.”
6 Tie me sufrɛ,Efisɛ mabotow koraa.
Wɔn a wɔtan m’ani no, gye me fi wɔn nsam,+Na wɔn ho yɛ den sen me.
7 Gye me* fi afiaseNa minyi wo din ayɛ.
Ma atreneefo ntwa me ho nhyia,Efisɛ wo ne me di no yiye.
