Nnwom 101

1 Dawid Dwom. Mɛto wo dɔ ne wo trenee ho nnwom; Awurade, mɛto ayeyi nnwom ama wo.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.

2 Mɛhwɛ yiye abu ɔbra a ho tew; da bɛn na wobɛba me nkyɛn? Mede koma a afɔdi nni mu bɛhwɛ me fi so.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

3 Merennye ade a ɛyɛ tan biara nto mu. Mikyi nnipa a wonni gyidi nneyɛe; meremfa me ho mmata ho.

I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

4 Nnipa a wɔn koma yɛ kɔntɔnkye remmɛn me; me ne bɔne nni hwee yɛ.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

5 Obiara a odi ne yɔnko ho nseku wɔ kokoa mu no, ɔno na mɛsɛe; nea ɔwɔ ahantan ani ne ahomaso koma, ɔno na merennyigye no so.

Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

6 Mʼani bɛkɔ anokwafo a wɔwɔ asase no so no so na me ne wɔn atena; nea ne nantew ho nni asɛm no ɔno na ɔbɛsom me.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

7 Nea ɔyɛ ɔdaadaafo biara rentena me fi; nea otwa nkontompo no rennyina mʼanim.

He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.

8 Adekyee biara, mɛsɛe amumɔyɛfo a wɔwɔ asase yi so nyinaa; na mapam ɔdebɔneyɛni biara afi Awurade kuropɔn mu.

Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
