Psalms 104
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.
Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade! Ao Awurade me Onyankopɔn, woyɛ ɔkɛseɛ! Wɔafira tumi ne animuonyam.
2 Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Ɔde hann akata ne ho sɛ atadeɛ; ɔtrɛ ɔsoro mu te sɛ ntomadan,
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
na ɔde ne mpia mpunan sisi nsuo so. Ɔde omununkum yɛ ne teaseɛnam na ɔde nante mframa ntaban so.
4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Ɔsoma nʼabɔfoɔ sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfoɔ sɛ ogyadɛreɛ.
5 [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever.
Ɔde asase asi ne fapem so na ɛrenhinhim da.
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Wode ebunu kataa so sɛ atadeɛ na nsuo gyinaa mmepɔ no so.
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Nanso wʼanimka maa nsuo no dwaneeɛ, wʼaprannaa nnyegyeeɛ ma wɔdwaneeɛ;
8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which thou hast founded for them.
Wɔtenetenee faa mmepɔ so, kɔɔ mmɔnhwa mu tɔnn, kɔguu baabi a wode ama wɔn no.
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Wotoo ɔhyeɛ a wɔrentumi ntra; na wɔammɛkata asase so bio.
10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.
Ɔma nsuwa tene fa abɔn mu; ɛtene fa mmepɔ ntam.
11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
Ɔma wiram mmoa nyinaa nsuo nom; ɔma afunumu nsuo de kum wɔn sukɔm.
12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches.
Ewiem nnomaa nwene wɔn pirebuo wɔ nsuo no ho; na wɔto nnwom wɔ nnua no mman so.
13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Ɔfiri ne soro mpia mu tɔ nsuo gugu mmepɔ so; Awurade nnwuma so aba mee asase.
14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Ɔma ɛserɛ fifiri ma anantwie, na ɔbɔɔ nnua maa onipa sɛ ɔnnua na ɛmma aduane mfiri asase mu:
15 And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.
na onipa anya nsã ama nʼakoma atɔ ne yam, na onipa anya ngo ama nʼanim atɔ so, na aduane nso akura onipa akoma.
16 The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Wɔgugu Awurade nnua no so yie, Lebanon ntweneduro a ɔduaeɛ no.
17 Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir-trees [are] her house.
Ɛso na nnomaa yɛ wɔn mpirebuo na asukɔnkɔn nso yɛ nʼatenaeɛ wɔ pepeaa nnua no mu.
18 The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies.
Mmepɔ atentene no yɛ wiram mpɔnkye dea; na abotan yɛ dwanekɔbea ma amoakua.
19 He appointeth the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
Ɔsrane kyerɛ ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, na owia nim ɛberɛ a ɔkɔtɔ.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
Wode esum ba ma ɛyɛ adesaeɛ na kwaeɛ mu mmoa nyinaa kɔ ahayɔ.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
Gyata bobom pɛ wɔn ahaboa wɔhwehwɛ wɔn aduane firi Onyankopɔn hɔ.
22 The sun ariseth, they collect, and lay themselves down in their dens.
Owia pue ma wɔsane wɔn akyi; wɔsane kɔdeda wɔn atuo mu.
23 Man goeth forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
Afei, onipa kɔ nʼadwuma so kɔyɛ adwuma ara kɔsi anwummerɛ.
24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Ao Awurade, wo nnwuma dɔɔso! Nyansa mu na woyɛɛ ne nyinaa; wʼabɔdeɛ ahyɛ asase so ma.
25 [So is] this great and wide sea, in which [are] creeping animals innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Ɛpo na ɛda hɔ tɛtrɛɛ hahanaa yi, a abɔdeɛ bebree a ɛnni ano, akɛseɛ ne nketewa ahyɛ no ma.
26 There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [which] thou hast made to play therein.
Ɛso na ahyɛn di akɔneaba, na dɛnkyɛmmirampɔn a woyɛɛ no di agorɔ.
27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their food in due season.
Wɔn nyinaa hwɛ wo kwan sɛ wobɛma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
28 [That which] thou givest them, they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
Wodema wɔn a, wɔtase; wobue wo nsam a, nnepa mee wɔn.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Wode wʼanim hinta wɔn a, wɔbɔ hu; sɛ wogye wɔn ahomeɛ a, wɔwuwu na wɔsane kɔ mfuturo mu.
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Sɛ wode wo Honhom no ma wɔn a na wɔabɔ wɔn, na woyɛ asase ani foforɔ.
31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
Ma Awurade animuonyam ntena hɔ daa; ma Awurade ani nnye ne nnwuma ho,
32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
deɛ ɔhwɛ asase na ɛwosoɔ, na ɔde ne nsa ka mmepɔ a wisie firi mu ba.
33 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Mɛto dwom ama Awurade me nkwa nna nyinaa; sɛ mete ase yi, mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama me Onyankopɔn.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
Ɔmma mʼakoma mu mpaeɛbɔ nsɔ nʼani ɛberɛ a meregye mʼani wɔ Awurade mu yi.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
Ma nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nyera wɔ asase so; na amumuyɛfoɔ ase nhye. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade. Kamfo Awurade.
