Nnwom 131

1 Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Awurade, ahomaso nni me koma mu, na mʼani ntraa me ntɔn ɛ; memma nsɛm akɛse nhaw me anaa nsɛm a ɛyɛ nwonwa dodo ma me.

A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.

2 Na mmom, mama me kra anya abotɔyam te sɛ akokoaa a ɔda ne na so renum no, te sɛ akokoaa a otua nufu ano no, saa ara na me kra ayɛ wɔ me mu.

When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul.

3 Israel, ma wʼani nna Awurade so, mprempren ne daa nyinaa.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
