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 prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.

2 Munnyan, sanku ne bɛnta! Menyan anɔpahema.

Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.

3 Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman mu; mɛto wo ho nnwom wɔ nnipa no mu.

I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.

4 Wʼadɔe so, ɛkorɔn sen ɔsoro; wo nokwaredi du wim.

For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.

5 Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your 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 Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your 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 exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure 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, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,

9 Moab yɛ me guasɛn, Edom so na metow me mpaboa gu; na meteɛ mu nkonimdi so gu Filistifo so.”

Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.

10 Hena na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hena na obedi mʼanim akɔ Edom?

Who brings 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 You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!

12 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfo no, na ɔdesani mmoa nka hwee.

Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.

13 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yebedi nkonim, na obetiatia yɛn atamfo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo no.

We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
