Psalms 103

1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.

Dawid deɛ. Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu adeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mfiri ne nneyɛeɛ pa nyinaa,

3 Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

ɔno na ɔde wo mfomsoɔ nyinaa kyɛ woɔ na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

ɔgye wo nkwa firi damena mu na ɔde adɔeɛ ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotire,

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things]; [so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

ɔde nnepa ma wo sɛ wʼapɛdeɛ na wo mmeranteberɛ yɛ foforɔ sɛ ɔkɔdeɛ.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

Awurade yɛ adetenenee na ɔbu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntenenee.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the children of Israel.

Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ hunuu ne nneyɛɛ.

8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.

Mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ ne Awurade, ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ soboɔ, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔ nkɔsi daa;

10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

Ɔrenhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛdeɛ ɛfata na ɔrentua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy towards them that fear him.

Na sɛdeɛ ɔsoro ne asase ntam ware no, saa ara na nʼadɔeɛ so wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so.

12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Sɛdeɛ apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ ntam ware no, saa ara na wama yɛn ne yɛn mmarato ntam kwan aware.

13 Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

Sɛdeɛ agya yam hyehye no ne mma ho no, saa ara na Awurade yam hyehye no ma wɔn a wɔsuro no,

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust.

na ɔnim sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae sɛ yɛyɛ mfuturo.

15 [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

Ɔdasani deɛ, ne nna te sɛ ɛserɛ, ɔyɛ frɔmm sɛ wiram nhwiren;

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more.

sɛ mframa bɔ fa ne so a, na ɔnni hɔ, na ne sibea nnim no bio.

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

Nanso ɛfiri mmerɛsanten kɔsi nnasanten Awurade adɔeɛ wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so, na ne tenenee wɔ wɔn mma mma so,

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

wɔn a wɔdi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.

19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

Awurade asi nʼahennwa wɔ soro, na nʼahennie di adeɛ nyinaa so.

20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening to the voice of his word.

Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfoɔ, mo atumfoɔ a moyɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ, mo a motie nʼasɛm.

21 Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfoɔ a moyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ.

22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa deɛ ɛwɔ nʼaheman mu nyinaa. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!
