8 Ɔde omununkum kata ɔsoro ani; ɔma asase osu ma sare nyin wɔ nkoko so.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
12 Momma Awurade so, Yerusalem; kamfo wo Nyankopɔn, Sion,
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
13 ɔma wʼapon akyi adaban yɛ den, na ohyira wo nkurɔfo a wɔte wo mu.

15 Ɔsoma nʼahyɛde kɔ asase so; nʼasɛm tu mmirika ntɛm so.
Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
16 Ɔtrɛw sukyerɛmma mu sɛ oguan ho nwi, na ɔpete obosu sukyerɛmma sɛ nsõ.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
17 Ɔtotow mparuwbo gu fam sɛ mmosea. Hena na obetumi agyina nʼawɔw dennen no ano?
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
18 Ɔsoma nʼasɛm no ma ɛnan no; ɔhwanyan ne mframa, na nsu sen.
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
19 Wada nʼasɛm adi akyerɛ Yakob, ne mmara ne ɔhyɛ nsɛm akyerɛ Israel.
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 Ɔnyɛɛ eyi maa ɔman foforo biara ɛ; wonnim ne mmara. Monkamfo Awurade!
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
