A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.
2 Wubedi wʼadwuma so aba; nhyira ne yiyedi bɛyɛ wo de.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Wo yere bɛyɛ sɛ bobe a ɛsow aba wɔ wo fi; na wo mmabarima ayɛ sɛ ngodua a afifi atwa wo pon ho ahyia.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Yiw, sɛɛ ne nea wobehyira onipa a osuro Awurade no.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.
5 Awurade nhyira wo mfi Sion na ɔmma wunhu Yerusalem yiyeyɛ; wo nkwanna nyinaa.
Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,
6 Ɔmma wo ntena ase nhu wo mma mma. Asomdwoe nka Israel.
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
