Nnwom 21
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Awurade, ɔhene di anigye wɔ wʼahoɔden mu. Nʼani gye mmoroso wɔ nkonimdi a woma no nti!
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!
2 Woama no nea ne koma pɛ; woamfa nʼabisade ankame no.
You have given him his heart's desire and have not held back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Wode nhyira a edi mu hyiaa no na wode sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa ahenkyɛw hyɛɛ no.
For you bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.
4 Obisaa wo hɔ nkwa, na wode maa no, nna tenten a enni awiei.
He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.
5 Nkonimdi a woma no nti, nʼanuonyam so; wode kɛseyɛ ne nidi adom no.
His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 Ampa ara, woama no nhyira a ɛnsa da na woama no ahosɛpɛw wɔ wʼanim anigye mu.
For you grant him lasting blessings; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 Ɔhene no de ne ho to Awurade so; Ɔsorosoroni no nokware dɔ no nti, ɔrenhinhim.
For the king trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Wo nsa bɛka wʼatamfo nyinaa; wo nsa nifa beso wɔn a wokyi wo no mu.
Your hand will seize all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.
9 Bere a wubeyi wo ho adi no wobɛyɛ wɔn sɛ fononoo a mu adɔ. Awurade fi nʼabufuwhyew mu bɛmene wɔn, na ne gya no ahyew wɔn.
At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and the fire will devour them.
10 Wobɛtɔre wɔn ase wɔ asase so, na wɔn asefo afi adesamma mu.
You will destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.
11 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔbɔ pɔw tia wo na wɔyɛ nhyehyɛe bɔne, nanso wɔrenni nkonim;
For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!
12 efisɛ wobɛma wɔasan wɔn akyi bere a woatwe bɛmma akyerɛ wɔn so no.
For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.
13 Yɛma wo so, Awurade, wɔ wʼahoɔden mu; yɛbɛto nnwom na yɛakamfo wo kɛseyɛ.
Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.
