Nnwom 84
1 Koramma dwom. Awurade Asafo, wʼatenae hɔ yɛ ahomeka!
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 Me kra pere, mpo ɛtɔ beraw, sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Awurade adiwo; me koma ne me honam teɛ mu frɛ Onyankopɔn teasefo.
My soul longeth, and, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth 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.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔte wo fi; na wɔkamfo wo din daa.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔwɔ wo mu ahoɔden, na wɔde wɔn koma fi akwantu ase kɔhwehwɛ wo.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Sɛ wɔfa Baka Bon no mu a wɔma hɔ yɛ nsuwansuwa; asusow bere nsu so taataa hɔ.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
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 in Zion appeareth before God.
8 Asafo Awurade Nyankopɔn, tie me mpaebɔ; Yakob Nyankopɔn, yɛ aso ma me.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Ao, Onyankopɔn, hwɛ yɛn nkatabo; fa ahummɔbɔ hwɛ nea woasra no ngo no.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thy anointed.
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 thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Efisɛ Awurade Nyankopɔn yɛ owia ne kyɛm; Awurade hu mmɔbɔ na ɔhyɛ anuonyam; ɔmmfa ade pa biara nkame wɔn a wɔteɛ.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 Asafo Awurade, nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to wo so. Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
