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

Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] O the blessedness of one fearing YHWH, He has greatly delighted in His commands.

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

His seed is mighty in the earth, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing forever.

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

Light has risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, 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 man—good, gracious, and lending, He sustains his matters in judgment.

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

For he is not moved for all time; For the righteous is a continuous memorial.

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

He is not afraid of an evil report, His heart is prepared [and] confident in YHWH.

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

His heart is sustained—he does not fear, Until he looks on his adversaries.

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

He has scattered—has given to the needy, His righteousness is standing forever, His horn is exalted with glory.

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

The wicked sees, and has been angry, He gnashes his teeth, and has melted, The desire of the wicked perishes!
