Nnwom 108
1 Dawid dwom. Onyankopɔn, me koma asi pi; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayeyi nnwom.
My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
2 Munnyan, sanku ne bɛnta! Menyan anɔpahema.
Awake, psaltery and harp. I myself will awake right early.
3 Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
4 Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.
5 Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
7 Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusuw Sukot Bon.
God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw, Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.
10 Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
12 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
13 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no.
Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
