Nnwom 108
1 Dawid dwom. Onyankopɔn, me koma asi pi; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayeyi nnwom.
A Song. A Psalm. Of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.
2 Munnyan, sanku ne bɛnta! Menyan anɔpahema.
Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.
3 Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
4 Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.
5 Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6 Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.
7 Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusuw Sukot Bon.
This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring 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 is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.
10 Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
11 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
12 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
13 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so.
With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
