Psalms 118
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Monna Awurade ase ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ, na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
2 Let Israel say, “His covenant faithfulness endures forever.”
Momma Israel nka sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.”
3 Let the house of Aaron say, “His covenant faithfulness endures forever.”
Momma Aaron fie nka sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.”
4 Let the loyal followers of Yahweh say, “His covenant faithfulness endures for ever.”
Momma wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade nka sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.”
5 In my distress I called out to Yahweh; Yahweh answered me and set me free.
Mʼahohiahia mu, mesu frɛɛ Awurade; ɔgyee me so, na ɔma me dee me ho.
6 Yahweh is with me; I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?
Awurade ne me ɔboafoɔ; enti merensuro. Ɛdeɛn na onipa bɛtumi ayɛ me?
7 Yahweh is on my side as my helper; I will look in triumph on those who hate me.
Awurade ne me wɔ hɔ; ɔyɛ me ɔboafoɔ. Mede nkonimdie bɛhwɛ mʼatamfoɔ.
8 It is better to take shelter in Yahweh than to put confidence in man.
Ɛyɛ sɛ yɛbɛhinta wɔ Awurade mu sene sɛ yɛde yɛn ho bɛto onipa soɔ.
9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put one's trust in a princes.
Ɛyɛ sɛ yɛbɛhinta Awurade mu sene sɛ yɛde yɛn ho bɛto mmapɔmma so.
10 All the nations surrounded me; in Yahweh's name I cut them off.
Amanaman no nyinaa twaa me ho hyiaaɛ, nanso Awurade din mu metwitwaa wɔn guiɛ.
11 They surrounded me; yes, they surrounded me; in Yahweh's name I cut them off.
Wɔtwaa me ho hyiaeɛ wɔ baabiara, nanso Awurade din mu, metwitwaa wɔn guiɛ.
12 They surrounded me like bees; they disappeared as quickly as fire among thorns; in Yahweh's name I cut them off.
Wɔkyere guu me so sɛ nwowa, nanso wɔhyee ntɛm so sɛ nkasɛɛ a ogya atɔ mu; Awurade din mu metwitwaa wɔn guiɛ.
13 They attacked me to knock me down, but Yahweh helped me.
Wɔsum me kɔɔ mʼakyi a anka mereyɛ ahwe ase, nanso Awurade boaa me.
14 Yahweh is my strength and joy, and he is the one who rescues me.
Awurade yɛ mʼahoɔden ne me dwom; wayɛ me nkwagyeɛ.
15 The joyful shout of victory is heard in the tents of the righteous; the right hand of Yahweh conquers.
Osebɔ ne nkonimdie gyegye wɔ ateneneefoɔ ntomadan mu sɛ, “Awurade nsa nifa ayɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ!
16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted; the right hand of Yahweh conquers.
Wɔapagya Awurade nsa nifa so; Awurade nsa nifa ayɛ nneɛma akɛseɛ!”
17 I will not die, but live and declare the deeds of Yahweh.
Merenwu, mmom mɛtena ase na mapae mu aka deɛ Awurade ayɛ.
18 Yahweh has punished me harshly; but he has not handed me over to death.
Awurade atwe mʼaso denden, nanso ɔnnyaa me mmaa owuo.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them and I will give thanks to Yahweh.
Bue tenenee apono ma me; na mɛhyɛne mu na mede aseda ama Awurade.
20 This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous enter through it.
Awurade ɛpono nie; ɛhɔ na ateneneefoɔ bɛfa ahyɛne mu.
21 I will give thanks to you, for you answered me, and you have become my salvation.
Mɛda wo ase ɛfiri sɛ wogyee me so; na woayɛ me nkwagyeɛ.
22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Ɔboɔ a adansifoɔ no poeɛ no, abɛyɛ tweatiboɔ.
23 This is Yahweh's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
Awurade na ayɛ yei, na ɛyɛ nwanwa wɔ yɛn ani so.
24 This is the day on which Yahweh has acted; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Ɛnnɛ yɛ ɛda a Awurade ayɛ. Momma yɛn ani nnye na yɛnni ahurisie.
25 Please, Yahweh, give us victory! Please, Yahweh, give us success!
Ao Awurade, gye yɛn nkwa; Ao Awurade, ma yɛn nkɔsoɔ.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh; we bless you from the house of Yahweh.
Nhyira ne deɛ ɔnam Awurade din mu reba. Yɛhyira wo firi Awurade fie.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has given us light; bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn, na wama ne hann ahyerɛn yɛn so. Momfa nnua mman nkura na yɛnto afahyɛ santen nkɔ afɔrebukyia no mmɛn ho.
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will exalt you.
Woyɛ me Onyankopɔn, na meda wo ase; wone me Onyankopɔn, na mɛma wo so.
29 Oh, give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good; for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
Monna Awurade ase, ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
