Nnwom 8

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din kɛseyɛ ada adi wiase mmaa nyinaa. Wode wʼanuonyam atimtim ɔsoro nohɔ,

TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth, Who have set Your splendor on the heavens!

2 mmofra ne nkokoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo, wʼatamfo nti; na wode bɔ atamfo ne aweretɔfo ano.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings You have founded strength, Because of Your adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

3 Sɛ mehwɛ wo ɔsorosoro, wo nsateaa ano adwuma; ɔsram ne nsoromma a wode obiara asi nʼafa a,

For I see Your heavens, a work of Your fingers, [The] moon and stars that You established.

4 onipa ne hena a wokae no, na onipa ba nso ne hena a wʼani ku ne ho?

What [is] man that You remember him? The son of man that You inspect him?

5 Wobɔɔ no ma ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sen abɔfo na wode wʼanuonyam ne nidi abɔ no abotiri.

You make him a little lower than the gods [[or God]], And surround him with glory and majesty.

6 Woyɛɛ no ɔsodifo maa wo nsa ano nnwuma wode nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ nʼanan ase:

You cause him to rule Over the works of Your hands, You have placed all under his feet.

7 nguankuw ne anantwikuw nyinaa ne wuram mmoa nso,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

8 wim nnomaa ne po mu mpataa, nea ɛnenam po mu akwan so nyinaa.

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

9 Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din yɛ kɛse wɔ asase nyinaa so! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Wɔto no sɛnea wɔto “Ɔba no wu”.

YHWH, our Lord, How majestic [is] Your Name in all the earth!
