Nnwom 76

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

For the leader. With instrumental music. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself 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 in Zion.

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

There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)

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

Terrible is your splendour on the everlasting mountains.

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

Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.

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

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.

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

Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?

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

The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,

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

when God arose to judgment to save the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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

The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.

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.

Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.

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

He lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.
