All the earth will hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship you, and will make zahmar ·musical praise· to you; they will make zahmar ·musical praise· to your name.” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
7 Ɔde ne tumi di hene daa daa, na ɔde nʼani nso hwɛ aman so. Mma atuatewfo nsɔre ntia no.
He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
8 Aman nyinaa, munhyira yɛn Nyankopɔn, momma wɔnte mo nkamfo no nnyigyei;
Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his tehilah ·praise song· be sh'ma ·heard obeyed·,

who preserves our life among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.
10 Na wo, Onyankopɔn, wosɔɔ yɛn hwɛe; na wonan yɛn sɛ dwetɛ.
For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11 Wode yɛn koguu afiase na wode nneɛma a ɛyɛ duru too yɛn akyi.
You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
12 Womaa yɛn atamfo twiw faa yɛn so; yɛfaa ogya ne nsu mu, nanso wode yɛn baa faako a nnepa abu so.
You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13 Mede ɔhyew afɔre bɛba wʼasɔredan mu na madi bɔ a mahyɛ wo no so,
I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
14 bɔ a mʼanofafa hyɛe, na mʼano kaa bere a na mewɔ ɔhaw mu no.
which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15 Mede mmoa a wɔadɔ srade bɛbɔ afɔre ama wo; adwennini ayɛyɛde; mede anantwinini ne mpapo bɛbɔ afɔre.
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
16 Mommra mmetie, mo a musuro Onyankopɔn nyinaa; momma menka nea wayɛ ama me nkyerɛ mo.
Come, and sh'ma ·hear obey·, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 Mede mʼano su frɛɛ no; na me tɛkrɛma yii no ayɛ.
I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
18 Sɛ mede bɔne hyɛɛ me koma mu a, anka Awurade antie me.
If I cherished vain striving of iniquity in my heart, 'Adonay [Lord] would not have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.
19 Nanso nokware, Onyankopɔn atie me, wate me mpaebɔ.
But most certainly, God has sh'ma ·heard obeyed·. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Nhyira nka Onyankopɔn, a wampo me mpaebɔ na wanyi nʼadɔe amfi me so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde sanku na ɛto.
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
