Psalms 108
1 “A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.
Dawid dwom. Onyankopɔn, me koma asi pi; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayeyi nnwom.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
Munnyan, sanku ne bɛnta! Menyan anɔpahema.
3 I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
4 For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.
Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
5 Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.
Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
6 In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.
Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusuw Sukot Bon.
8 Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.
Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw, Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?
Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
11 Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.
Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
12 Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.
Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
13 Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so.
