Nnwom 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

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

Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

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

Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

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

To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favour and pity and kindness are they.

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 those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

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

For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

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

They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

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

Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

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

With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honour.

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

The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.
