< Psalms 148 >
1 Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
Monkamfo Awurade! Monkamfo Awurade mfi ɔsorosoro, monkamfo no wɔ ɔsoro sorɔnsorɔmmea.
2 Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
Nʼabɔfo nyinaa, monkamfo no, ne ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, monkamfo no.
3 Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
Owia ne ɔsram, monkamfo no, nsoromma a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa, monkamfo no.
4 Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
Monkamfo no, ɔsoro mu soro ne mo nsu a mowɔ ɔsoro atifi.
5 Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
Momma wɔn nyinaa nkamfo Awurade din, efisɛ ɔno na ɔhyɛ ma wɔbɔɔ wɔn.
6 He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ afebɔɔ; na ɔmaa ɔhyɛ nsɛm bi a ɛrentwa mu da.
7 Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
Monkamfo Awurade mfi asase so, mo po kɛse mu abɔde ne po bun nyinaa,
8 Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
anyinam ne mparuwbo, sukyerɛmma ne omununkum, ahum a moyɛ nʼapɛde,
9 Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
mo mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa, nnua a ɛsow aba ne sida nyinaa,
10 Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
nwura mu mmoa ne anantwi, abɔde nketewa ne nnomaa a wotu,
11 Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
asase ne amanaman nyinaa so ahemfo, mo mmapɔmma ne asase sodifo nyinaa,
12 Young men and virgins; old men and children:
mmerante ne mmabaa, mmasiriwa ne mmofra nso.
13 Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
Ma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, na ne din so sen din biara; nʼanuonyam korɔn wɔ asase ne ɔsoro so.
14 He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
Wapagyaw mmɛn bi ama ne nkurɔfo, nʼahotewfo nyinaa nkamfo; Israelfo, nnipa a wɔda ne koma so no nkamfo. Monkamfo Awurade.
