Nnwom 103
1 Dawid de. Me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu ade nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.
[By David.] Praise the LORD, my soul, and all that is within me, praise his holy name.
2 Me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mmfi ne nneyɛe pa nyinaa,
Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
3 ɔno na ɔde wo mfomso nyinaa kyɛ wo na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,
who forgives all your sins; 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 desire with good things; your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 Awurade yɛ adetrenee, na obu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntrenee.
The LORD executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfo huu ne nneyɛe.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to 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 loving kindness.
9 Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ sobo, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔw nkosi daa;
He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
10 Ɔnhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛnea ɛfata na ontua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛnea ɛte.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for 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 heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who 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 has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14 na onim sɛnea wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae se yɛyɛ mfutuma.
For he knows how we are made. 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 like 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 its place remembers 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 LORD's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children's children;
18 wɔn a wodi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.
to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19 Awurade asi nʼahengua wɔ ɔsoro, na nʼahenni di ade nyinaa so.
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
20 Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfo, mo atumfo a moyɛ nʼahyɛde, mo a mutie nʼasɛm.
Praise the LORD, all you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.
21 Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfo a moyɛ nʼapɛde.
Praise the LORD, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22 Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa; nea ɛwɔ nʼahenni mu nyinaa. Me kra, kamfo Awurade!
Praise the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise the LORD, my soul.
