The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His loving devotion.
6 Awurade asɛm so na wɔnam yɛɛ ɔsorosoro, nʼanom home so na wɔnam yɛɛ ɔsoro asafo.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Awurade sɛe amanaman no nhyehyɛe; ɔma adesamma nsusuwii yɛ ɔkwa.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11 Nanso Awurade nhyehyɛe tim hɔ daa, ne koma mu botae wɔ hɔ ma awo ntoatoaso.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
14 Ofi nʼatenae hwɛ wɔn a wɔte asase so nyinaa.
From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 Ɔno ne nea ɔbɔɔ wɔn nyinaa koma, na osusuw nea wɔyɛ nyinaa ho.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16 Ɛnyɛ ɔhene asraafo dɔm kɛse na ebegye no; ɔkofo biara nni hɔ a ofi nʼahoɔden mu guan.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17 Ɔpɔnkɔ mu ahotoso yɛ ɔkwa wɔ nkwagye mu; nʼahoɔden nyinaa akyi no, ɔrentumi nnye nkwa.
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 Nanso Awurade ani wɔ wɔn a wosuro no no so, wɔn a wɔwɔ anidaso wɔ ne dɔ a ɛnsa da no mu,
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19 sɛ obegye wɔn afi owu mu na wama wɔatena nkwa mu wɔ ɔkɔm bere mu.

20 Yɛde anidaso twɛn Awurade; ɔyɛ yɛn boafo ne yɛn nkatabo.
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 Ne mu na yɛn koma di ahurusi, efisɛ yɛde yɛn ho to ne din kronkron no so.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22 Ma wʼadɔe a ɛnsa da no ntena yɛn so, Awurade, sɛnea anidaso a yɛwɔ wɔ mu no te.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
