Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.

2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

Omununkum ne sum kabii atwa no ho ahyia; trenee ne atɛntrenee yɛ nʼahengua no fapem.

3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.

Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhyew nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa.

4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

Nʼanyinam hyerɛn wiase; asase hu na ne ho popo.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.

6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.

7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!

Ahonisomfo nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuw hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.

8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.

Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.

9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.

Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.

10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ Awurade no nkyi bɔne, ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfo a wɔyɛ nokwafo no ho ban na ogye wɔn fi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.

Hann hyerɛn wɔ atreneefo so na anigye ba wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew no so.

12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.

Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
