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

Praise JAH. Blessed is the man who fears YHWH, who delights greatly in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.

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

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, 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.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

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

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

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

He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in YHWH.

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

His heart is secure, he has no fears; in the end he will look in triumph 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, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
