Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

Monkamfo Awurade. Monkamfo Awurade din; monkamfo no, mo Awurade asomfoɔ,

2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

mo a mosom wɔ Awurade fie, wɔ adihɔ a ɛwɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn fie.

3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

Monkamfo Awurade ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ; monto ayɛyie dwom mma ne din, na ɛno na ɛyɛ anisɔ.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

Awurade ayi Yakob sɛ ɔnyɛ ne deɛ, wayi Israel sɛ nʼadeɛ a ɛsom bo.

5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

Menim sɛ Awurade so; Ɔso sene anyame nyinaa.

6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

Awurade yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ biara, wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, ɛpo ne emu abunu nyinaa.

7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

Ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so firi asase ano ba; ɔsoma anyinam ka osutɔ ho na ɔma ahum tu firi nʼakoradan mu.

8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

Ɔkumm Misraim mmakan, nnipa ne mmoa mmakan.

9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

Ɔsomaa ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne nʼanwanwadeɛ baa mo mfimfini, Ao Misraim, de tiaa Farao ne nʼasomfoɔ nyinaa.

10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

Ɔsɛee amanaman pii na ɔkunkumm ahemfo akɛseɛ,

11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

Amorifoɔ ɔhene, Sihon Basan ɔhene, Og ne Kanaan ahemfo nyinaa,

12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

na ɔde wɔn nsase maa sɛ agyapadeɛ; ɔde maa ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ.

13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

Ao Awurade, wo din wɔ hɔ daa. Ao Awurade wo din ahyeta awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

Awurade bɛdi ama ne nkurɔfoɔ na ɔbɛhunu nʼasomfoɔ mmɔbɔ.

15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

Amanaman no ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.

16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wɔntumi nkasa, wɔwɔ ani, nanso wɔnhunu adeɛ;

17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm, na ahomeɛ nso nni wɔn anom.

18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ ahoni no bɛyɛ sɛ wɔn ara, saa ara na wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wɔn so no bɛyɛ.

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

Monkamfo Awurade, Ao Israel fiefoɔ; monkamfo Awurade, Ao Aaron fiefoɔ;

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

monkamfo Awurade, Ao Lewi fiefoɔ; monkamfo Awurade, mo a mosuro no.

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

Momfiri Sion nkamfo Awurade, monkamfo deɛ ɔte Yerusalem no. Monkamfo Awurade.
