Nnwom 84
1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ wɔnto no wɔ gittit sanku nne so. Koramma dwom. Awurade Asafo, wʼatenae hɔ yɛ ahomeka!
To the chief music-maker; put to the Gittith A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!
2 Me kra pere, mpo ɛtɔ beraw, sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Awurade adiwo; me koma ne me honam teɛ mu frɛ Onyankopɔn teasefo.
The passion of my soul's desire is for the house of the Lord; my heart and my flesh are crying out for the living God.
3 Mpo akasanoma anya ofi, na asomfena nso anwen ne berebuw, faako a obesow ne mma wɔ beae bi a ɛbɛn wʼafɔremuka, Awurade Asafo, me Hene ne me Nyankopɔn.
The little birds have places for themselves, where they may put their young, even your altars, O Lord of armies, my King and my God.
4 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔte wo fi; na wɔkamfo wo din daa.
Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah)
5 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔwɔ wo mu ahoɔden, na wɔde wɔn koma fi akwantu ase kɔhwehwɛ wo.
Happy is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the highways to Zion.
6 Sɛ wɔfa Baka Bon no mu a wɔma hɔ yɛ nsuwansuwa; asusow bere nsu so taataa hɔ.
Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain.
7 Wɔkɔ no ahoɔden so bere nyinaa, kosi sɛ wɔn mu biara bepue Onyankopɔn anim wɔ Sion.
They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.
8 Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ; Yakob Nyankopɔn, yɛ aso ma me.
O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Ao, Onyankopɔn, hwɛ yɛn nkatabo; fa ahummɔbɔ hwɛ nea woasra no ngo no.
O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.
10 Wʼadiwo hɔ da koro tena ye sen nnafua apem wɔ baabi foforo; mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ ɔponanohwɛfo wɔ Onyankopɔn fi sen sɛ mɛtena amumɔyɛfo ntamadan mu.
For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.
11 Efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn yɛ owia ne kyɛm; Awurade hu mmɔbɔ na ɔhyɛ anuonyam; ɔmmfa ade pa biara nkame wɔn a wɔteɛ.
The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright.
12 Asafo Awurade, nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to wo so.
O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.
