Nnwom 113

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼasomfo no, monkamfo Awurade din.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Momma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, mprempren ne daa nyinaa.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 Efi faako a owia pue kosi faako a ɛkɔtɔ, ma wɔnkamfo Awurade din.

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 Wɔama Awurade so aman nyinaa so, nʼanuonyam tra ɔsorosoro.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 Hena na ɔte sɛ Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn, Ɔbaako no a odi hene wɔ ɔsorosoro,

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 ɔno na ɔbɔ ne mu ase hwɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase?

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 Ɔma ahiafo so fi mfutuma mu na ɔma onnibi so fi nso siw so;

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 ɔde wɔn tena mmapɔmma mu, wɔn nkurɔfo mmapɔmma mu.

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

9 Ɔbɔ obonin atenase wɔ ne fi sɛ ɔbeatan a nʼani gye. Monkamfo Awurade.

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
