1 Monkamfo Awurade! Monkamfo Awurade mfi ɔsorosoro, monkamfo no wɔ ɔsoro sorɔnsorɔmmea.
Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;
2 Nʼabɔfo nyinaa, monkamfo no, ne ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, monkamfo no.
Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;
3 Owia ne ɔsram, monkamfo no, nsoromma a ɛhyerɛn nyinaa, monkamfo no.
Praise 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, O 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 Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
6 Ɔde wɔn sisii hɔ afebɔɔ; na ɔmaa ɔhyɛ nsɛm bi a ɛrentwa mu da.
So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.
7 Monkamfo Awurade mfi asase so, mo po kɛse mu abɔde ne po bun nyinaa,
Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;
8 anyinam ne mparuwbo, sukyerɛmma ne omununkum, ahum a moyɛ nʼapɛde,
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
9 mo mmepɔw ne nkoko nyinaa, nnua a ɛsow aba ne sida nyinaa,
Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;
10 nwura mu mmoa ne anantwi, abɔde nketewa ne nnomaa a wotu,
Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;
11 asase ne amanaman nyinaa so ahemfo, mo mmapɔmma ne asase sodifo nyinaa,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
12 mmerante ne mmabaa, mmasiriwa ne mmofra nso.
Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.
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 Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
14 Wapagyaw mmɛn bi ama ne nkurɔfo, nʼahotewfo nyinaa nkamfo; Israelfo, nnipa a wɔda ne koma so no nkamfo. Monkamfo Awurade.
Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
