Psalms 97

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

Awurade di ɔhene, ma asase ani nnye; ma nsupɔ ahodoɔ nsɛpɛ wɔn ho.

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

Omununkum ne esum kabii atwa ne ho ahyia; tenenee ne atɛntenenee yɛ nʼahennwa no fapem.

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

Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhye nʼatamfoɔ wɔ afanan nyinaa.

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

Nʼanyinam hran ewiase; asase ahunu, na ne ho popo.

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

Mmepɔ nane 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 tenenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hunu nʼanimuonyam.

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

Ahonisomfoɔ nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuo 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 sɛpɛ no na Yuda nkuraase ani gye Ao Awurade, ɛsiane wʼatɛntenenee enti.

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

Wo, Ao 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 nkyiri bɔne, ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ no ho ban na ɔgye wɔn firi amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.

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

Hann to gu teneneefoɔ so na anigyeɛ ba wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ so.

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

Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo teneneefoɔ nyinaa, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
