Nnwom 108
1 Dawid dwom. Onyankopɔn, me koma asi pi; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayeyi nnwom.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, 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 will awake the dawn.
3 Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations.
4 Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto 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 be 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 me.
7 Onyankopɔn akasa afi ne kronkronbea se, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusuw Sukot Bon.
God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would 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 defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
9 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”
Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud.
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 will lead me unto Edom?
11 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts?
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 that will tread down our adversaries.
