Nnwom 103
1 Dawid de. Me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu ade nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mmfi ne nneyɛe pa nyinaa,
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 ɔno na ɔde wo mfomso nyinaa kyɛ wo na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,
Who forgives all of your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
4 ogye wo nkwa fi ɔda mu, na ɔde adɔe ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotiri,
Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
5 ɔde nnepa ma wo sɛ wʼapɛde, na wo mmerantebere yɛ foforo sɛ ɔkɔre.
Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 Awurade yɛ adetrenee, na obu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntrenee.
The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfo huu ne nneyɛe.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 Mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔdomfo ne Awurade, ne bo kyɛ fuw na nʼadɔe dɔɔso.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in mercy.
9 Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ sobo, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔw nkosi daa;
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 Ɔnhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛnea ɛfata na ontua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛnea ɛte.
He has not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 Na sɛnea ɔsoro ne asase ntam ware no, saa ara na nʼadɔe so wɔ wɔn a wosuro no no so.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 Sɛnea apuei ne atɔe ntam ware no, saa ara na wama yɛn ne yɛn mmarato ntam kwan aware.
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Sɛnea agya yam hyehyew no wɔ ne mma ho no, saa ara na Awurade yam hyehye no ma wɔn a wosuro no no;
Like a father pities his children, so the LORD pities them that fear him.
14 na onim sɛnea wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae se yɛyɛ mfutuma.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
15 Ɔdesani de, ne nna te sɛ sare, ɔyɛ frɔmfrɔm sɛ nwura mu nhwiren;
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 sɛ mframa bɔ fa ne so a, na onni hɔ, na ne sibea nkae no bio.
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 Nanso efi mmeresanten kosi nnasanten Awurade adɔe wɔ wɔn a wosuro no so, na ne trenee wɔ wɔn mma mma so,
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 wɔn a wodi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 Awurade asi nʼahengua wɔ ɔsoro, na nʼahenni di ade nyinaa so.
The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfo, mo atumfo a moyɛ nʼahyɛde, mo a mutie nʼasɛm.
Bless the LORD, all of you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfo a moyɛ nʼapɛde.
Bless all of you the LORD, all you his hosts; all of you ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa; nea ɛwɔ nʼahenni mu nyinaa. Me kra, kamfo Awurade!
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
