Nnwom 24

1 Dawid dwom. Asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade de; wiase ne wɔn a wɔte mu nyinaa wɔ no;

A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

2 efisɛ ɔno na ɔtoo ne fapem wɔ po so na ɔde sii nsu ani.

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

3 Hena na obetumi aforo Awurade bepɔw no? Hena na obetumi agyina ne tenabea kronkron hɔ?

Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 Nea ɔyɛ ade trenee na ne koma mu tew, nea ne kra nni ahoni akyi na ɔnka ntamhunu.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 Obenya Awurade nsam nhyira ne bembu a efi ne Nkwagye Nyankopɔn.

He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Saa na awo ntoatoaso a wɔhwehwɛ Awurade no te wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ wʼanim no, Yakob Nyankopɔn.

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)

7 Mo aponkɛse, momma mo ti so; wɔmma mo so, mo tete apon, na Anuonyam Hene nhyɛn mu.

Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

8 Hena ne saa Anuonyam Hene yi? Ɔno ne Awurade hoɔdenfo ne otumfo no Awurade a ɔyɛ ɔko mu nkonimdifo.

Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.

9 Momma mo ti so, mo aponkɛse momma wɔn so, mo tete apon, na anuonyam Hene no nkɔ mu.

Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

10 Hena ne saa anuonyam Hene yi? Asafo Awurade no, ɔno ne anuonyam Hene no.

Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)
