Psalms 48

1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

Koramma dwom. Awurade yɛ ɔkɛse na ɔsɛ nkamfo, wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, ne bepɔw kronkron so.

2 Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

Ne sorokɔ ma ɛyɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ wiase nyinaa anigyede. Bepɔw Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhenkɛse no kuropɔn.

3 God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛse mu wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼabandennen.

4 For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

Bere a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wotuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,

5 They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

wohuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwiriw, na wɔde ehu guanee.

6 Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

Wɔbɔɔ huboa wɔ hɔ, ɔyaw a ɛte sɛ ɔbea a awo aka no.

7 With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

Wosɛe wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apuei mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.

8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.

Sɛnea yɛate no, saa ara na yɛahu wɔ Asafo Awurade kuropɔn no mu, yɛn Nyankopɔn kuropɔn mu; Onyankopɔn ma etim hɔ afebɔɔ.

9 Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

Wʼasɔredan no mu; Ao, Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a enni huammɔ da no ho,

10 Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼayeyi du asase ano te sɛ wo din te; trenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.

11 Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.

Sion bepɔw di ahurusi, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye esiane wʼatemmu no nti.

12 March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,

Nantew Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodow,

13 consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

dwene nʼafasu ho yiye, hwɛ nʼabankɛse no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.

14 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.

Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn daa daa; ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfo akosi awiei mpo.
