Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Monkamfo Awurade. Me kra, kamfo Awurade!

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Mɛkamfo Awurade me nkwanna nyinaa; mɛto ayeyi dwom ama me Nyankopɔn, sɛ mete ase yi.

3 Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

Mommfa mo ho nto mmapɔmma so, adesamma a wɔrentumi nnye nkwa.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Sɛ wɔn honhom tu kɔ a, wɔsan kɔ dɔte mu, saa da no ara wɔn nsusuwii nyinaa yɛ ɔkwa.

5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God:

Nhyira ne nea ne boafo ne Yakob Nyankopɔn, nea nʼanidaso wɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn mu.

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein [is: ] which keepeth truth for ever:

Ɔno ne ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo, po ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu nyinaa Awurade a ɔyɛ nokwafo daa no.

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

Odi ma wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so, na ɔma wɔn a ɔkɔm de wɔn aduan. Awurade gyaa nneduafo,

8 The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

Awurade ma anifuraefo hu ade. Awurade ma wɔn a wɔakom no so, Awurade dɔ atreneefo.

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Awurade hwɛ ahɔho so, na ɔwowaw ayisaa ne akunafo, na amumɔyɛfo akwan de, ɔdan ani.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Awurade di hene daa daa, Ao, Sion, wo Nyankopɔn, wɔ awo ntoatoaso nyinaa so. Monkamfo Awurade.
