Psalms 97

1 YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.

Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.

2 Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

Omununkum ne sum kabii atwa no ho ahyia; trenee ne atɛntrenee yɛ nʼahengua no fapem.

3 Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.

Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhyew nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa.

4 His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.

Nʼanyinam hyerɛn wiase; asase hu na ne ho popo.

5 Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.

Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.

6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.

7 All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.

Ahonisomfo nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuw hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.

8 Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.

Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.

9 For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.

Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.

10 You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ Awurade no nkyi bɔne, ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfo a wɔyɛ nokwafo no ho ban na ogye wɔn fi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.

Hann hyerɛn wɔ atreneefo so na anigye ba wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew no so.

12 Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!

Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
