Nnwom 125

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to Awurade so no te sɛ Bepɔw Sion, a ɛnwosow na etim hɔ daa no.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.

2 Sɛnea mmepɔw atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no, saa ara na Awurade atwa ne nkurɔfo ho ahyia mprempren ne daa.

Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.

3 Amumɔyɛfo ahempema renka asase a wɔde ama atreneefo no so, sɛ ɛba saa a, atreneefo nam wɔn so bɛyɛ bɔne.

For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.

4 Awurade wɔn a wɔyɛ papa no, yɛ wɔn papa, wɔn a wɔteɛ wɔ koma mu no, yɛ wɔn papa.

Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

5 Na wɔn a wɔman fa akwan kɔntɔnkye so no de, Awurade betwa wɔn ne nnebɔneyɛfo asu. Asomdwoe nka Israel.

As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
