Nnwom 146

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Me kra, kamfo Awurade!

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 Mɛkamfo Awurade me nkwanna nyinaa; mɛto ayeyi dwom ama me Nyankopɔn, sɛ mete ase yi.

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Mommfa mo ho nto mmapɔmma so, adesamma a wɔrentumi nnye nkwa.

Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

4 Sɛ wɔn honhom tu kɔ a, wɔsan kɔ dɔte mu, saa da no ara wɔn nsusuwii nyinaa yɛ ɔkwa.

When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

5 Nhyira ne nea ne boafo ne Yakob Nyankopɔn, nea nʼanidaso wɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn mu.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Ɔno ne ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfo, po ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu nyinaa Awurade a ɔyɛ nokwafo daa no.

the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

7 Odi ma wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so, na ɔma wɔn a ɔkɔm de wɔn aduan. Awurade gyaa nneduafo,

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

8 Awurade ma anifuraefo hu ade. Awurade ma wɔn a wɔakom no so, Awurade dɔ atreneefo.

the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

9 Awurade hwɛ ahɔho so, na ɔwowaw ayisaa ne akunafo, na amumɔyɛfo akwan de, ɔdan ani.

The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

10 Awurade di hene daa daa, Ao, Sion, wo Nyankopɔn, wɔ awo ntoatoaso nyinaa so. Monkamfo Awurade.

The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
