Psalms 97
1 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.
Awurade di ɔhene, ma asase ani nnye; ma nsupɔ ahodoɔ nsɛpɛ wɔn ho.
2 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
Omununkum ne esum kabii atwa ne ho ahyia; tenenee ne atɛntenenee yɛ nʼahennwa no fapem.
3 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.
Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhye nʼatamfoɔ wɔ afanan nyinaa.
4 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.
Nʼanyinam hran ewiase; asase ahunu, na ne ho popo.
5 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.
Mmepɔ nane sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.
6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.
Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne tenenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hunu nʼanimuonyam.
7 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.
Ahonisomfoɔ nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuo hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.
8 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.
Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛ no na Yuda nkuraase ani gye Ao Awurade, ɛsiane wʼatɛntenenee enti.
9 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.
Wo, Ao Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.
10 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.
Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ Awurade no nkyiri bɔne, ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ no ho ban na ɔgye wɔn firi amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.
11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart — joy.
Hann to gu teneneefoɔ so na anigyeɛ ba wɔn a wɔn akoma mu teɛ so.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!
Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo teneneefoɔ nyinaa, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
