Nnwom 149

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

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto the LORD a new song; His praise in the assembly of the godly!

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that 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 praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

Let the godly-rejoice in their glory; Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

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

Let the praises of God be 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 punishment 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 nobles 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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
