Nnwom 128

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Nhyira ne wɔn a wosuro Awurade, na wɔnantew nʼakwan so.

A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

2 Wubedi wʼadwuma so aba; nhyira ne yiyedi bɛyɛ wo de.

When thou eatest 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 innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

4 Yiw, sɛɛ ne nea wobehyira onipa a osuro Awurade no.

Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 Awurade nhyira wo mfi Sion na ɔmma wunhu Yerusalem yiyeyɛ; wo nkwanna nyinaa.

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou 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!
