< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Monkamfo Awurade. Monto dwom foforɔ mma Awurade, monkamfo no wɔ ahotefoɔ asafo mu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Ma Israel ani nnye ne Yɛfoɔ mu. Ma Sion mma ani nnye wɔn Ɔhene mu.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
Ma wɔmfa asa nkamfo ne din na wɔmfa sankuo ne akasaeɛ nto dwom mma no.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Na Awurade ani sɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ; ɔde nkwagyeɛ kyɛ hyɛ ahobrɛasefoɔ.
5 Let the saints exult in glory: let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Momma ahotefoɔ nni ahurisie wɔ animuonyam yi mu; na wɔnto ahosɛpɛ dwom wɔ wɔn mpa so.
6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Onyankopɔn nkamfo nhyɛ wɔn anomu na ɛnyɛ akofena anofanu wɔ wɔn nsam,
7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples;
sɛ wɔmfa ntɔ werɛ wɔ amanaman no so ne asotwe wɔ nnipa no so,
8 To bind their king’s with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn nkyekyere wɔn ahemfo, ne dadeɛ mpɔkyerɛ ngu wɔn atitire,
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
sɛ wɔmfa mmu atɛn sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ atia wɔn no. Yei ne nʼahotefoɔ nyinaa animuonyam. Monkamfo Awurade.
