Psalms 104
1 Let every part of me praise the Lord! Lord my God, you are so great, clothed with majesty and splendor!
Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade! Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn, woyɛ ɔkɛseɛ! Wɔafira tumi ne animuonyam.
2 You wear light as your clothing; you stretch out the fabric of the heavens.
Ɔde hann akata ne ho sɛ atadeɛ; ɔtrɛ ɔsoro mu te sɛ ntomadan,
3 You place the roof-beams of your house in the rainclouds. You make the clouds your chariots. You ride on 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 You make your angels winds, and your servants flames of fire.
Ɔsoma nʼabɔfoɔ sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfoɔ sɛ ogyadɛreɛ.
5 You set the earth on its foundations; it will never be shaken.
Ɔde asase asi ne fapem so na ɛrenhinhim da.
6 It was clothed with ocean depths—the waters even covered the mountains—
Wode ebunu kataa so sɛ atadeɛ na nsuo gyinaa mmepɔ no so.
7 but at your command the waters fled; at the sound of your thunder they rushed away.
Nanso wʼanimka maa nsuo no dwaneeɛ, wʼaprannaa nnyegyeeɛ ma wɔdwaneeɛ;
8 The mountains rose up and the valleys sank down to where you had determined.
Wɔtenetenee faa mmepɔ so, kɔɔ mmɔnhwa mu tɔnn, kɔguu baabi a wode ama wɔn no.
9 You set a boundary for the oceans so they would not come back and cover the earth.
Wotoo ɔhyeɛ a wɔrentumi ntra; na wɔammɛkata asase so bio.
10 You make springs flow into the streams, running down between the hills.
Ɔma nsuwa tene fa abɔn mu; ɛtene fa mmepɔ ntam.
11 They provide water for all the wild animals, and wild donkeys quench their thirst.
Ɔma wiram mmoa nyinaa nsuo nom; ɔma afunumu nsuo de kum wɔn sukɔm.
12 Birds build their nests in trees along the streams, singing from among the leaves.
Ewiem nnomaa nwene wɔn pirebuo wɔ nsuo no ho; na wɔto nnwom wɔ nnua no mman so.
13 You send down rain on the mountains from your home high above; you fill the earth with good things.
Ɔfiri ne soro mpia mu tɔ nsuo gugu mmepɔ so; Awurade nnwuma so aba mee asase.
14 You make the grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to eat—crops produced by the earth for food,
Ɔma ɛserɛ fifiri ma anantwie, na ɔbɔɔ nnua maa onipa sɛ ɔnnua na ɛmma aduane mfiri asase mu:
15 and wine to make them happy, olive oil to make their faces shine, and bread to make them strong.
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 Lord's trees are well-watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
Wɔgugu Awurade nnua no so yie, Lebanon ntweneduro a ɔduaeɛ no.
17 Sparrows make their nests there; herons make their homes in the tall trees.
Ɛso na nnomaa yɛ wɔn mpirebuo na asukɔnkɔn nso yɛ nʼatenaeɛ wɔ pepeaa nnua no mu.
18 Wild goats live high in the mountains; hyraxes hide among the rocks.
Mmepɔ atentene no yɛ wiram mpɔnkye dea; na abotan yɛ dwanekɔbea ma amoakua.
19 You made the moon to mark the months, and the sun knows when to set.
Ɔsrane kyerɛ ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, na owia nim ɛberɛ a ɔkɔtɔ.
20 You make darkness fall and the night comes, the time when the forest animals come out to hunt.
Wode esum ba ma ɛyɛ adesaeɛ na kwaeɛ mu mmoa nyinaa kɔ ahayɔ.
21 The young lions roar as they seek their prey, looking for the food that God provides for them.
Gyata bobom pɛ wɔn ahaboa wɔhwehwɛ wɔn aduane firi Onyankopɔn hɔ.
22 When the sun rises they return to their dens to rest.
Owia pue ma wɔsane wɔn akyi; wɔsane kɔdeda wɔn atuo mu.
23 Then people leave for work, working until the evening.
Afei, onipa kɔ nʼadwuma so kɔyɛ adwuma ara kɔsi anwummerɛ.
24 Lord, how many different things you have made—all of them wisely created! The earth is full of your creatures.
Ao Awurade, wo nnwuma dɔɔso! Nyansa mu na woyɛɛ ne nyinaa; wʼabɔdeɛ ahyɛ asase so ma.
25 Consider the sea, deep and wide, full of all kinds of living things, large and small.
Ɛpo na ɛda hɔ tɛtrɛɛ hahanaa yi, a abɔdeɛ bebree a ɛnni ano, akɛseɛ ne nketewa ahyɛ no ma.
26 Ships sail there, and Leviathan, that you made to play in it.
Ɛso na ahyɛn di akɔneaba, na dɛnkyɛmmirampɔn a woyɛɛ no di agorɔ.
27 All creatures look to you to give them food at the right time.
Wɔn nyinaa hwɛ wo kwan sɛ wobɛma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
28 When you provide it, they gather it up. You hand out food to them, and they are well-fed.
Wodema wɔn a, wɔtase; wobue wo nsam a, nnepa mee wɔn.
29 When you turn away from them, they're terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to dust.
Wode wʼanim hinta wɔn a, wɔbɔ hu; sɛ wogye wɔn ahomeɛ a, wɔwuwu na wɔsane kɔ mfuturo mu.
30 When you send your breath, they are created, and life covers the earth again.
Sɛ wode wo Honhom no ma wɔn a na wɔabɔ wɔn, na woyɛ asase ani foforɔ.
31 May the Lord's glory last forever! The Lord is happy with all he has made.
Ma Awurade animuonyam ntena hɔ daa; ma Awurade ani nnye ne nnwuma ho,
32 He only has to look at the earth and it trembles; mountains pour out smoke at his touch.
deɛ ɔhwɛ asase na ɛwosoɔ, na ɔde ne nsa ka mmepɔ a wisie firi mu ba.
33 I will sing to the Lord for as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God my whole life.
Mɛto dwom ama Awurade me nkwa nna nyinaa; sɛ mete ase yi, mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama me Onyankopɔn.
34 May he be pleased with my thoughts because I am happy in the Lord.
Ɔmma mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nsɔ nʼani ɛberɛ a meregye mʼani wɔ Awurade mu yi.
35 Let sinners be destroyed from the earth; let the wicked cease to exist. Let every part of me praise the Lord!
Ma nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyera wɔ asase so; na amumuyɛfoɔ ase nhye. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade. Kamfo Awurade.
