Psalms 104
1 Bless Jehovah, O my soul! Jehovah my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with majesty and splendour;
Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade! Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn, woyɛ ɔkɛseɛ! Wɔafira tumi ne animuonyam.
2 Covering thyself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent-curtain; —
Ɔde hann akata ne ho sɛ atadeɛ; ɔtrɛ ɔsoro mu te sɛ ntomadan,
3 Who layeth the beams of his upper chambers in the waters, who maketh clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
na ɔde ne mpia mpunan sisi nsuo so. Ɔde omununkum yɛ ne teaseɛnam na ɔde nante mframa ntaban so.
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flame of fire.
Ɔsoma nʼabɔfoɔ sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfoɔ sɛ ogyadɛreɛ.
5 He laid the earth upon its foundations: it shall not be removed for ever.
Ɔde asase asi ne fapem so na ɛrenhinhim da.
6 Thou hadst covered it with the deep, as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains:
Wode ebunu kataa so sɛ atadeɛ na nsuo gyinaa mmepɔ no so.
7 At thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; —
Nanso wʼanimka maa nsuo no dwaneeɛ, wʼaprannaa nnyegyeeɛ ma wɔdwaneeɛ;
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them; —
Wɔtenetenee faa mmepɔ so, kɔɔ mmɔnhwa mu tɔnn, kɔguu baabi a wode ama wɔn no.
9 Thou hast set a bound which they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Wotoo ɔhyeɛ a wɔrentumi ntra; na wɔammɛkata asase so bio.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys: they run among the mountains;
Ɔma nsuwa tene fa abɔn mu; ɛtene fa mmepɔ ntam.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
Ɔma wiram mmoa nyinaa nsuo nom; ɔma afunumu nsuo de kum wɔn sukɔm.
12 The birds of heaven dwell by them; they give forth their voice from among the branches.
Ewiem nnomaa nwene wɔn pirebuo wɔ nsuo no ho; na wɔto nnwom wɔ nnua no mman so.
13 He watereth the mountains from his upper-chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Ɔfiri ne soro mpia mu tɔ nsuo gugu mmepɔ so; Awurade nnwuma so aba mee asase.
14 He maketh the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; bringing forth bread out of the earth,
Ɔma ɛserɛ fifiri ma anantwie, na ɔbɔɔ nnua maa onipa sɛ ɔnnua na ɛmma aduane mfiri asase mu:
15 And wine which gladdeneth the heart of man; making [his] face shine with oil; and with bread he strengtheneth man's heart.
na onipa anya nsã ama nʼakoma atɔ ne yam, na onipa anya ngo ama nʼanim atɔ so, na aduane nso akura onipa akoma.
16 The trees of Jehovah are satisfied, the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
Wɔgugu Awurade nnua no so yie, Lebanon ntweneduro a ɔduaeɛ no.
17 Where the birds make their nests; [as for] the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Ɛso na nnomaa yɛ wɔn mpirebuo na asukɔnkɔn nso yɛ nʼatenaeɛ wɔ pepeaa nnua no mu.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the cliffs, a refuge for the rock-badgers.
Mmepɔ atentene no yɛ wiram mpɔnkye dea; na abotan yɛ dwanekɔbea ma amoakua.
19 He made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth its going down.
Ɔsrane kyerɛ ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, na owia nim ɛberɛ a ɔkɔtɔ.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest creep forth:
Wode esum ba ma ɛyɛ adesaeɛ na kwaeɛ mu mmoa nyinaa kɔ ahayɔ.
21 The young lions roar after the prey, and to seek their food from God.
Gyata bobom pɛ wɔn ahaboa wɔhwehwɛ wɔn aduane firi Onyankopɔn hɔ.
22 The sun ariseth, they retreat, and lay them down in their dens.
Owia pue ma wɔsane wɔn akyi; wɔsane kɔdeda wɔn atuo mu.
23 Man goeth forth unto his work, and to his labour until the evening.
Afei, onipa kɔ nʼadwuma so kɔyɛ adwuma ara kɔsi anwummerɛ.
24 How manifold are thy works, O Jehovah! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Ao Awurade, wo nnwuma dɔɔso! Nyansa mu na woyɛɛ ne nyinaa; wʼabɔdeɛ ahyɛ asase so ma.
25 Yonder is the great and wide sea: therein are moving things innumerable, living creatures small and great.
Ɛpo na ɛda hɔ tɛtrɛɛ hahanaa yi, a abɔdeɛ bebree a ɛnni ano, akɛseɛ ne nketewa ahyɛ no ma.
26 There go the ships; [there] that leviathan, which thou hast formed to play therein.
Ɛso na ahyɛn di akɔneaba, na dɛnkyɛmmirampɔn a woyɛɛ no di agorɔ.
27 These all look unto thee, that thou mayest give their food in its season:
Wɔn nyinaa hwɛ wo kwan sɛ wobɛma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
28 That thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
Wodema wɔn a, wɔtase; wobue wo nsam a, nnepa mee wɔn.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they expire and return to their dust.
Wode wʼanim hinta wɔn a, wɔbɔ hu; sɛ wogye wɔn ahomeɛ a, wɔwuwu na wɔsane kɔ mfuturo mu.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created, and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Sɛ wode wo Honhom no ma wɔn a na wɔabɔ wɔn, na woyɛ asase ani foforɔ.
31 The glory of Jehovah will endure for ever; Jehovah will rejoice in his works.
Ma Awurade animuonyam ntena hɔ daa; ma Awurade ani nnye ne nnwuma ho,
32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
deɛ ɔhwɛ asase na ɛwosoɔ, na ɔde ne nsa ka mmepɔ a wisie firi mu ba.
33 I will sing unto Jehovah as long as I live; I will sing psalms to my God while I have my being.
Mɛto dwom ama Awurade me nkwa nna nyinaa; sɛ mete ase yi, mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama me Onyankopɔn.
34 My meditation shall be pleasant unto him; I will rejoice in Jehovah.
Ɔmma mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nsɔ nʼani ɛberɛ a meregye mʼani wɔ Awurade mu yi.
35 Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Hallelujah!
Ma nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyera wɔ asase so; na amumuyɛfoɔ ase nhye. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade. Kamfo Awurade.
