Nnwom 101

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

A PSALM OF DAVID. I sing kindness and judgment, To You, O YHWH, I sing praise.

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 act wisely in a perfect way, When do You come to me? I habitually walk in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

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

I do not set a worthless thing before my eyes, I have hated the work of those turning aside, It does not adhere to me.

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

A perverse heart turns aside from me, I do not know wickedness.

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.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, Him I do not endure.

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.

My eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoever is walking in a perfect way, he serves me.

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

He who is working deceit does not dwell in my house, Whoever is speaking lies is not established before my eyes.

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

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of YHWH All the workers of iniquity!
