Nnwom 149

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Monto dwom foforo mma Awurade, monkamfo no wɔ ahotefo asafo mu.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Ma Israel ani nnye ne Yɛfo mu. Ma Sion mma ani nnye wɔn Hene mu.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Ma wɔmfa asaw nkamfo ne din na wɔmfa sanku ne akasaa nto dwom mma no.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

4 Na Awurade ani sɔ ne nkurɔfo; ɔde nkwagye kyɛw hyɛ ahobrɛasefo.

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Momma ahotefo nni ahurusi wɔ anuonyam yi mu; na wɔnto ahosɛpɛw dwom wɔ wɔn mpa so.

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 Onyankopɔn nkamfo nhyɛ wɔn anom, na ɛnyɛ afoa anofanu wɔ wɔn nsam,

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 sɛ wɔmfa ntɔ were wɔ amanaman no so ne asotwe wɔ nnipa no so,

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn nkyekyere wɔn ahemfo, ne dade mpokyerɛ ngu wɔn atitiriw,

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 sɛ wɔmfa mmu atɛn, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw atia wɔn no. Eyi ne nʼahotewfo nyinaa anuonyam. Monkamfo Awurade.

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
