< Psalms 149 >
1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
Monkamfo Awurade. Monto dwom foforo mma Awurade, monkamfo no wɔ ahotefo asafo mu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Ma Israel ani nnye ne Yɛfo mu. Ma Sion mma ani nnye wɔn Hene mu.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
Ma wɔmfa asaw nkamfo ne din na wɔmfa sanku ne akasaa nto dwom mma no.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Na Awurade ani sɔ ne nkurɔfo; ɔde nkwagye kyɛw hyɛ ahobrɛasefo.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Momma ahotefo nni ahurusi wɔ anuonyam yi mu; na wɔnto ahosɛpɛw dwom wɔ wɔn mpa so.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
Onyankopɔn nkamfo nhyɛ wɔn anom, na ɛnyɛ afoa anofanu wɔ wɔn nsam,
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
sɛ wɔmfa ntɔ were wɔ amanaman no so ne asotwe wɔ nnipa no so,
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn nkyekyere wɔn ahemfo, ne dade mpokyerɛ ngu wɔn atitiriw,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
sɛ wɔmfa mmu atɛn, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw atia wɔn no. Eyi ne nʼahotewfo nyinaa anuonyam. Monkamfo Awurade.
