Psalms 97

1 YHWH reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of islands be glad.

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

2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

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

3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhye nʼatamfoɔ wɔ afanan nyinaa.

4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

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

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of YHWH, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Mmepɔ nane sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne tenenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hunu nʼanimuonyam.

7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods.

Ahonisomfoɔ nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuo hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.

8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, 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 above all the earth. You are exalted far above 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 preserves the souls of his faithful ones. He delivers them out of 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 gladness for the upright in heart.

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

12 Be glad in YHWH, you righteous people. Give thanks to his holy Name.

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