Nnwom 108
1 Dawid dwom. Onyankopɔn, me koma asi pi; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayeyi nnwom.
“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.
2 Munnyan, sanku ne bɛnta! Menyan anɔpahema.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.
3 Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.
For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.
5 Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.
6 Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help 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 hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.
8 Gilead yɛ me de; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dade kyɛw, Yuda yɛ mʼahempema.
Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.
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 will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
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 as far as Edom?
11 Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn na wo ne yɛn asraafo nkɔ ɔsa bio ana?
Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.
12 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.
Give us help against the assailant; 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 shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
