Psalms 103
1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name!
Dawid de. Me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu ade nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.
2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mmfi ne nneyɛe pa nyinaa,
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases;
ɔno na ɔde wo mfomso nyinaa kyɛ wo na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,
4 Who redeemeth thy life from the pit, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
ogye wo nkwa fi ɔda mu, na ɔde adɔe ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotiri,
5 Who satisfieth thine old age with good [things]; thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
ɔde nnepa ma wo sɛ wʼapɛde, na wo mmerantebere yɛ foforo sɛ ɔkɔre.
6 Jehovah executeth righteousness and justice for all that are oppressed.
Awurade yɛ adetrenee, na obu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntrenee.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfo huu ne nneyɛe.
8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.
Mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔdomfo ne Awurade, ne bo kyɛ fuw na nʼadɔe dɔɔso.
9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.
Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ sobo, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔw nkosi daa;
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Ɔnhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛnea ɛfata na ontua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛnea ɛte.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.
Na sɛnea ɔsoro ne asase ntam ware no, saa ara na nʼadɔe so wɔ wɔn a wosuro no no so.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Sɛnea apuei ne atɔe ntam ware no, saa ara na wama yɛn ne yɛn mmarato ntam kwan aware.
13 As a father pitieth [his] children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
Sɛnea agya yam hyehyew no wɔ ne mma ho no, saa ara na Awurade yam hyehye no ma wɔn a wosuro no no;
14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
na onim sɛnea wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae se yɛyɛ mfutuma.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth:
Ɔdesani de, ne nna te sɛ sare, ɔyɛ frɔmfrɔm sɛ nwura mu nhwiren;
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof knoweth it no more.
sɛ mframa bɔ fa ne so a, na onni hɔ, na ne sibea nkae no bio.
17 But the loving-kindness of Jehovah is from everlasting and to everlasting, upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children,
Nanso efi mmeresanten kosi nnasanten Awurade adɔe wɔ wɔn a wosuro no so, na ne trenee wɔ wɔn mma mma so,
18 To such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his precepts to do them.
wɔn a wodi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.
19 Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Awurade asi nʼahengua wɔ ɔsoro, na nʼahenni di ade nyinaa so.
20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, mighty in strength, that execute his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfo, mo atumfo a moyɛ nʼahyɛde, mo a mutie nʼasɛm.
21 Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his will.
Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfo a moyɛ nʼapɛde.
22 Bless Jehovah, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless Jehovah, O my soul!
Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa; nea ɛwɔ nʼahenni mu nyinaa. Me kra, kamfo Awurade!
