Psalms 146

1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

Monkamfo Awurade. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!

2 While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

Mɛkamfo Awurade me nkwa nna nyinaa; mɛto ayɛyi dwom ama me Onyankopɔn, sɛ mete ase yi.

3 Don’t put your trust in princes, in a son of man in whom there is no help.

Mommfa mo ho nto mmapɔmma so, adasamma a wɔrentumi nnye nkwa.

4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

Sɛ wɔn honhom tu kɔ a, wɔsane kɔ dɔteɛ mu, saa da no ara wɔn nsusuiɛ nyinaa yɛ kwa.

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God,

Nhyira ne deɛ ne ɔboafoɔ ne Yakob Onyankopɔn, deɛ nʼanidasoɔ wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn mu.

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

Ɔno ne ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfoɔ, ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu nyinaa Awurade a ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ daa no.

7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

Ɔdi ma wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so, na ɔma wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn aduane. Awurade gyaa nneduafoɔ,

8 Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous.

Awurade ma anifirafoɔ hunu adeɛ. Awurade pagya wɔn a wɔakom. Awurade dɔ teneneefoɔ.

9 Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

Awurade hwɛ ahɔhoɔ so na ɔwowa nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ, na amumuyɛfoɔ akwan deɛ, ɔdane ani.

10 Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!

Sion, Awurade wo Onyankopɔn di ɔhene daa daa, wɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa so. Monkamfo Awurade.
