Nnwom 146

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Me kra, kamfo Awurade!

Alleluia, of Aggeus and Zacharias.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul, in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes:

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

In the children of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit shall go forth, and he shall return into his earth: in that day all their thoughts shall perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his helper, 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.

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

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

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth them that are fettered:

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

The Lord enlighteneth the blind. The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

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

The Lord keepeth the strangers, he will support the fatherless and the widow: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

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

The Lord shall reign for ever: thy God, O Sion, unto generation and generation.
