Nnwom 138

1 Dawid de. Awurade, mede me koma nyinaa ayi wo ayɛ; mɛto wʼayeyi dwom wɔ “anyame” no anim.

“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;

2 Mede mʼani bɛkyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no, akotow wo na makamfo wo din wɔ wʼadɔe a enni huammɔ ne wo nokwaredi nti, efisɛ woama wʼahyɛde no so yiye; ama asen wo titiriwyɛ.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, And praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!

3 Bere a misu frɛɛ wo no, wugyee me so; woma minyaa akokoduru ne nnamyɛ.

In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage my soul.

4 Awurade, sɛ ahemfo a wɔwɔ wiase nyinaa te nea woahyɛ no a, ma wɔnkamfo wo.

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!

5 Ma wɔnto Awurade akwan ho nnwom, na Awurade anuonyam yɛ kɛse.

Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD; For great is the glory of the LORD.

6 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Awurade wɔ ɔsorosoro de, nanso ɔhwɛ mmɔborɔfo, na ahantanfo de, ohu wɔn wɔ akyirikyiri.

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know from afar.

7 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ menam ɔhaw mu de, nanso wobɔ me nkwa ho ban; woteɛ wo nsa wɔ mʼatamfo abufuw so, na wode wo nsa nifa gye me nkwa.

Though I walk through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

8 Awurade bɛma nea wahyehyɛ ama me no aba mu; Awurade, wʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa, nnyaa wo nsa ano nnwuma akyidi.

The LORD will perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
