1 Monkamfo Awurade! Monkamfo Awurade mfi ɔsorosoro, monkamfo no wɔ ɔsoro sorɔnsorɔmmea.
Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Nʼabɔfo nyinaa, monkamfo no, ne ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, monkamfo no.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Owia ne ɔsram, monkamfo no, nsoromma a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa, monkamfo no.
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Monkamfo no, ɔsoro mu soro ne mo nsu a mowɔ ɔsoro atifi.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Momma wɔn nyinaa nkamfo Awurade din, efisɛ ɔno na ɔhyɛ ma wɔbɔɔ wɔn.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.
6 Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ afebɔɔ; na ɔmaa ɔhyɛ nsɛm bi a ɛrentwa mu da.
And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.
7 Monkamfo Awurade mfi asase so, mo po kɛse mu abɔde ne po bun nyinaa,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
8 anyinam ne mparuwbo, sukyerɛmma ne omununkum, ahum a moyɛ nʼapɛde,
Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;
9 mo mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa, nnua a ɛsow aba ne sida nyinaa,
Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
10 nwura mu mmoa ne anantwi, abɔde nketewa ne nnomaa a wotu,
Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
11 asase ne amanaman nyinaa so ahemfo, mo mmapɔmma ne asase sodifo nyinaa,
Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;
12 mmerante ne mmabaa, mmasiriwa ne mmofra nso.
Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —
13 Ma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, na ne din so sen din biara; nʼanuonyam korɔn wɔ asase ne ɔsoro so.
Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.
14 Wapagyaw mmɛn bi ama ne nkurɔfo, nʼahotewfo nyinaa nkamfo; Israelfo, nnipa a wɔda ne koma so no nkamfo. Monkamfo Awurade.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
