Nnwom 112

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Nhyira nka onipa a osuro Awurade na onya nʼahyɛde mu anigye pii.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

2 Ne mma bɛyɛ atumfo wɔ asase no so; atreneefo awo ntoatoaso benya nhyira.

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Ahonya ne sika wɔ ne fi, na ne trenee tena hɔ daa.

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

4 Sum mu mpo hann pue ma nnipa a wɔteɛ, ma ɔdomfo, mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔnokwafo.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Yiyedi bɛba wɔn a wɔn tirim yɛ mmerɛw na wɔde fɛm kwa, wɔn a wɔde atɛntrenee yɛ wɔn nneɛma no so.

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

6 Ampa ara ɔrenhinhim da biara da; wɔbɛkae onipa trenee daa.

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 Ɔte asɛmmɔne a, ɛmmɔ no hu; ne koma si pi wɔ Awurade mu ahotoso mu.

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

8 Ne koma wɔ bammɔ, na onsuro; awiei no ɔde nkonimdi behyia nʼatamfo.

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 Ɔtow nʼakyɛde pete aman so ma ahiafo nea wohia, nʼadɔe no tena hɔ daa; wɔbɛkae wɔn daa na wɔahyɛ wɔn anuonyam.

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 Omumɔyɛfo behu ama ayɛ no yaw, ɔbɛtwɛre ne se na wafɔn; omumɔyɛfo tirimpɔw bɛyɛ ɔkwa.

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
