< Psalms 66 >
1 Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth.
Dawid dwom. Asase nyinaa momfa ahosɛpɛ nteam mma Onyankopɔn!
2 Sing forth the glory of his name. Make his praise glorious.
Monto ne din animuonyamhyɛ ho dwom; momma nʼayɛyie nyɛ animuonyamhyɛ!
3 Say to God, How awesome are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall submit themselves to thee.
Monse Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Wo nneyɛɛ yɛ nwanwa wo tumi so na wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa de suro koto wʼanim.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing to thee. They shall sing to thy name. (Selah)
Asase nyinaa koto wo; wɔto ayɛyi dwom ma wo, wɔto dwom kamfo wo din.”
5 Come, and see the works of God, awesome in actions toward the sons of men.
Mommra mmɛhwɛ deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ; anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ wɔ nnipa mu.
6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him.
Ɔmaa ɛpo yɛɛ asase kesee; wɔnante twaa asuo no. Mommra na yɛnni ahurisie wɔ ne mu.
7 He rules by his might forever. His eyes observe the nations. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)
Ɔde ne tumi di ɔhene daa daa, na ɔde nʼani nso hwɛ aman so. Mma atuatefoɔ nsɔre ntia no.
8 O bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard,
Ao aman nyinaa, monhyira yɛn Onyankopɔn, momma wɔnte mo nkamfo no nnyegyeɛ.
9 who holds our soul in life, and does not allow our feet to be moved.
Wahwɛ yɛn nkwa so na wamma yɛn nan anwatiri.
10 For thou, O God, have proved us. Thou have tried us as silver is tried.
Na wo, Ao Onyankopɔn, wosɔɔ yɛn hwɛeɛ; na wohoaa yɛn ho sɛ dwetɛ.
11 Thou brought us into the net. Thou laid a great burden upon our loins.
Wode yɛn kɔguu nneduadan mu na wode nneɛma a ɛyɛ duru too yɛn akyi.
12 Thou caused men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water. But thou brought us out into a wealthy place.
Womaa yɛn atamfoɔ twi faa yɛn so; yɛfaa ogya ne nsuo mu, nanso wode yɛn baa baabi a nnepa abu so.
13 I will come into thy house with burnt offerings. I will pay thee my vows,
Mede ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ bɛba wʼasɔredan mu na madi ɛbɔ a mahyɛ wo no so,
14 which my lips uttered, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
ɛbɔ a mʼano fafa hyɛeɛ na mʼano kaaeɛ ɛberɛ a na mewɔ ɔhaw mu no.
15 I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the incense of rams. I will offer bullocks with goats. (Selah)
Mede mmoa a wɔadɔ sradeɛ bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo nnwennini ayɛyɛdeɛ; mede anantwinini ne mpapo bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ.
16 Come, and hear, all ye who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.
Mommra mmɛtie, mo a mosuro Onyankopɔn nyinaa; momma menka deɛ wayɛ ama me nkyerɛ mo.
17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
Mede mʼano su frɛɛ no; na me tɛkrɛma yii no ayɛ.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.
Sɛ mede bɔne hyɛɛ mʼakomam a, anka Awurade antie me.
19 But truly God has heard. He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Nanso, nokorɛm, Onyankopɔn atie me, wate me mpaeɛbɔ.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
Nhyira nka Onyankopɔn, a wampo me mpaeɛbɔ na wanyi nʼadɔeɛ amfiri me so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔde sankuo na ɛtoeɛ.
