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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult 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 sings praises to him with timbrel and lute.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

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

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

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

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints.

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