< Psalms 108 >
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, mʼakoma atɔ me yam; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayɛyie dwom.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Monyane, sankuo ne bɛnta! Mɛnyane anɔpahema.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
Ao Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman no mu; mɛto wo ho dwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
Wʼadɔeɛ so, ɛkorɔn sene ɔsoro; wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanimuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
Onyankopɔn akasa afiri ne kronkronbea sɛ, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusu Sukot Bɔnhwa.
8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
Gilead yɛ me dea; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dadeɛ kyɛ, Yuda yɛ mʼahempoma.
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
Moab yɛ me dwaresɛn, Edom so na meto me mpaboa guo; Filistia so na mebɔ ose.”
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Hwan na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hwan na ɔbɛdi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn? Wo ne yɛn nsraadɔm renkɔ ɔsa bio anaa?
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfoɔ no, na ɔdasani mmoa nka hwee.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yɛbɛdi nkonim, na ɔbɛtiatia yɛn atamfoɔ so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ no.
