Nnwom 121

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Mema mʼani so kyerɛ mmepɔw no, ɛhe na me mmoa fi bɛba?

A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 Me mmoa fi Awurade, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfo no.

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3 Ɔremma wo nan nwatiri, nea ɔhwɛ wo no rentɔ nko.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Ampa ara, nea ɔhwɛ Israel no rentɔ nko na ɔrenna.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Awurade hwɛ wo so; Awurade ne wo nwini wɔ wo nsa nifa so;

The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [is] thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 Owia rensɛe wo wɔ adekyee mu, na ɔsram nso rensɛe wo anadwo.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Awurade bɛbɔ wo ho ban afi ɔsɛe nyinaa ho, ɔbɛhwɛ wo nkwa so;

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 Awurade bɛhwɛ wʼadifi ne wo fieba so mprempren ne daa.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
