Nnwom 46

1 Koramma dwom. Wɔto no “alamot” sanku nne so. Onyankopɔn ne yɛn guankɔbea ne yɛn ahoɔden, amanehunu mu boafo a ɔwɔ hɔ bere biara.

For the music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song. God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.

2 Enti sɛ asase ani dan butuw, na mmepɔw tutu kogu po ase a, yɛrensuro,

So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,

3 sɛ po bɔ asorɔkye na ehuru na ɛma nkoko wosow mpo a, yɛrensuro.

though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! (Selah)

4 Asuten bi wɔ hɔ a ne nsuwansuwa de anigye ba Onyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, beae kronkron a Ɔsorosoroni no te.

A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.

5 Onyankopɔn te kuropɔn no mu, na ɔrenhwe ase; Onyankopɔn bɛboa no anɔpahema.

God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.

6 Amanaman yɛ hoo, na ahenni hwehwe ase; ɔma ne nne so ma asase nan.

Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.

7 Asafo Awurade ka yɛn ho. Yakob Nyankopɔn yɛ yɛn aban.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)

8 Bra bɛhwɛ Awurade nnwuma, ɔsɛe a ɔde aba asase no so.

Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!

9 Ɔma akodi gyae kosi asase ano. Obubu agyan mu na ɔsɛe peaw; ɔde ogya hyew nkatabo.

He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.

10 Monyɛ komm na munhu sɛ me ne Onyankopɔn; wɔbɛma me so wɔ amanaman no mu, wɔbɛma me so wɔ asase so.

Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
