Nnwom 112

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

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

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

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

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

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he 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 hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

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