Psalms 118
1 'O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.'
Monna Awurade ase efisɛ oye, na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
2 So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever,
Momma Israel nka se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.”
3 So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
Momma Aaronfi nka se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.”
4 So let them now that fear the LORD say, for His mercy endureth for ever.
Momma wɔn a wosuro Awurade nka se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.”
5 Out of my straits I called upon the LORD; He answered me with great enlargement.
Mʼahohia mu, misu frɛɛ Awurade; ogyee me so, na ɔma me dee me ho.
6 The LORD is for me; I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
Awurade ne me boafo; enti merensuro. Dɛn na onipa betumi ayɛ me?
7 The LORD is for me as my helper; and I shall gaze upon them that hate me.
Awurade ne me wɔ hɔ; ɔyɛ me boafo. Mede nkonimdi bɛhwɛ mʼatamfo.
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
Eye sɛ yebehintaw wɔ Awurade mu, sen sɛ yɛde yɛn ho bɛto onipa so.
9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.
Eye sɛ yebehintaw Awurade mu, sen sɛ yɛde yɛn ho bɛto mmapɔmma so.
10 All nations compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
Amanaman no nyinaa twaa me ho hyiae, nanso Awurade din mu mitwitwaa wɔn gui.
11 They compass me about, yea, they compass me about; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
Wotwaa me ho hyiaa wɔ baabiara, nanso Awurade din mu, mitwitwaa wɔn gui.
12 They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns; verily, in the name of the LORD I will cut them off.
Wɔkyere guu me so sɛ nnowa, nanso wɔhyew ntɛm so sɛ nsɔe a ogya atɔ mu; Awurade din mu mitwitwaa wɔn gui.
13 Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but the LORD helped me.
Wosum me kɔɔ mʼakyi a anka mereyɛ ahwe ase, nanso Awurade boaa me.
14 The LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden ne me bammɔ; wayɛ me nkwagye.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Osebɔ ne nkonimdi gyigye wɔ atreneefo ntamadan mu se, “Awurade nsa nifa ayɛ nneɛma akɛse!
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted; the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
Wɔama Awurade nsa nifa so; Awurade nsa nifa ayɛ nneɛma akɛse!”
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
Merenwu, mmom mɛtena ase na mapae mu aka nea Awurade ayɛ.
18 The LORD hath chastened me sore; but He hath not given me over unto death.
Awurade atwe mʼaso dennen, nanso onyaa me mmaa owu ɛ.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the LORD.
Bue trenee apon ma me; na mɛhyɛn mu na mede aseda ama Awurade.
20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter into it.
Awurade ponkɛse ni; ɛhɔ na atreneefo bɛfa ahyɛn mu.
21 I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
Mɛda wo ase, efisɛ wugyee me so; na woayɛ me nkwagye.
22 The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
Ɔbo a adansifo no poe no, abɛyɛ tweatibo.
23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
Awurade na wayɛ eyi, na ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ yɛn ani so.
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Nnɛ yɛ da a Awurade ayɛ. Momma yɛn ani nnye na yenni ahurusi.
25 We beseech Thee, O LORD, save now! We beseech Thee, O LORD, make us now to prosper!
Awurade, gye yɛn nkwa; Awurade, ma yɛn nkonimdi.
26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; we bless you out of the house of the LORD.
Nhyira ne nea ɔnam Awurade din mu reba. Yehyira wo fi Awurade fi.
27 The LORD is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar.
Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn, na wama ne hann ahyerɛn yɛn so. Momfa nnua mman nkura na yɛnto afɔrebɔ santen nkɔ afɔremuka no mmɛn ho.
28 Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee.
Woyɛ me Nyankopɔn na meyi wo ayɛ; wone me Nyankopɔn na mɛma wo so.
29 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
Monna Awurade ase, efisɛ oye; na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa.
