Nnwom 76

1 Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn din ahyeta wɔ Yuda; ne din so wɔ Israel.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2 Ne ntamadan si Salem, ne tenabea wɔ Sion.

His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

3 Ɛhɔ na obubuu mmemma a ɛpa gya, nkatabo ne afoa, akode nyinaa mu.

There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

4 Wo ho hann no hyerɛn, na woso sen mmepɔw a mmoadoma ahyɛ mu ma no.

You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5 Mmarima akokodurufo deda hɔ a wɔagye wɔn ho nneɛma, wɔadeda awufo nna; na akofo no mu baako mpo ntumi mma ne nsa so.

The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

6 Yakob Nyankopɔn, wokaa wɔn anim no apɔnkɔ no ne nteaseɛnam no adeda dinn.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

7 Wo nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro wo. Sɛ wo bo fuw a hena na obetumi agyina wʼanim?

You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8 Wubuu atɛn fii ɔsoro, asase suroe, na ɛyɛɛ komm,

From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

9 bere a wo, Onyankopɔn, sɔre buu atɛn, de gyee amanehunufo wɔ asase no so no.

when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

10 Ampa ara wʼabufuwhyew a etia nnipa no de ayeyi brɛ wo, na wɔn a wotumi gyina ano no nya kɔkɔbɔ.

Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

11 Monhyɛ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no bɔ na munni so; momma nsase a atwa ne ho ahyia mfa ayɛyɛde mmrɛ Ɔbaako a ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro no no.

Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12 Ɔbrɛ sodifonom honhom ase; na asase so ahemfo suro no. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔde ma Yedutun.

He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
