7 Ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so fi asase ano ba; ɔsoma anyinam ka osu ho na ɔma ahum tu fi ne koradan mu.

who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

8 Okum Misraim mmakan, nnipa ne mmoa mmakan.

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

13 Awurade, wo din wɔ hɔ daa. Awurade wo din ahyeta awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.

Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.

For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

15 Amanaman no ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wontumi nkasa, wɔwɔ ani, nanso wonhu ade;

They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.

17 wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm, na ɔhome nso nni wɔn anom.

They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
