TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG OF LOVES. My heart has stirred a good word, I am telling my works to the King, My tongue [is] the pen of a speedy writer.

2 Wudi mu koraa wɔ mmarima mu na wɔde adom bi asra wʼano, esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ahyira wo afebɔɔ no nti.

You have been beautified above the sons of men, Grace has been poured into Your lips, Therefore God has blessed You for all time.

3 Fa wʼafoa bɔ wo nkyɛn mu, okokuroko; fa anuonyam ne kɛseyɛ fura.

Gird Your sword on the thigh, O Mighty [One], Your splendor and Your majesty!

4 Fa wo kɛseyɛ mu kɔ wʼanim nkonimdi so wɔ nokware, ahobrɛase ne trenee mu; ma wo nsa nifa nna wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ nwonwa no adi.

As for Your majesty—prosper [and] ride! Because of truth, meekness, [and] righteousness, And Your right hand shows You fearful things.

5 Ma wo bɛmma nnamnam no nhwirew ɔhene atamfo koma mu; na ma amanaman nhwe wʼanan ase.

Your arrows [are] sharp—Peoples fall under You—In the heart of the enemies of the King.

6 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼahengua no bɛtena hɔ daa daa; trenee ahempema bɛyɛ wʼahenni no ahempema.

Your throne, O God, [is for] all time and forever, A scepter of uprightness [Is] the scepter of Your kingdom.

7 Wodɔ trenee na wukyi bɔne. Ɛno nti Onyankopɔn, wo Nyankopɔn de wo asi wo mfɛfo so, na ɔde anigye ngo asra wo.

You have loved righteousness and hate wickedness, Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With oil of joy above Your companions.

8 Kurobow, pɛprɛ ne bɛwewonua hua agye wo batakari mu nyinaa; sanku so nnwom a efi ahemfi a wɔde asonse asiesie ho mu ma wʼani gye.

Myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia [Cover] all Your garments; Out of palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You glad.

9 Ahemfo mmabea ka wo mmea atitiriw ho; wo nsa nifa so na ayeforo dehye a ɔhyɛ Ofir sikakɔkɔɔ gyina.

Daughters of kings [are] among Your precious ones, A queen has stood at Your right hand, In pure gold of Ophir.

10 Ɔbabea tie, dwene ho, na yɛ osetie; ma wo werɛ mfi wo nkurɔfo ne wo papa fi.

Listen, O daughter, and see, incline your ear, And forget your people, and your father’s house,

11 Wʼahoɔfɛ asɔ ɔhene no ani; di no ni, efisɛ ɔno ne wo wura.

And the King desires your beauty, Because He [is] your Lord—bow yourself to Him,

12 Tiro Babea de ayɛyɛde bɛba; mmarima adefo bɛdɛfɛdɛfɛ wo.

And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the people appease your face.

13 Ɔhene babea a ɔwɔ ne pia mu no yɛ onuonyamfo wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ abobɔ nʼatade yuu mu.

All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Her clothing [is] with filigrees of gold.

In various colors she is brought to the King; Afterward, virgins, her companions, Are brought to You.

15 Wɔde ahosɛpɛw ne anigye kɔ mu; wɔhyɛn ɔhempɔn no ahemfi.

They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the palace of the King.

16 Wo mmabarima besi wʼagyanom anan mu wobɛyɛ wɔn mmapɔmma wɔ asase no so nyinaa.

Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, You appoint them for princes in all the earth.

I make mention of Your Name in all generations, Therefore peoples praise You, For all time and forever!
