From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

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

High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

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

Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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

That he may 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.

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
