1 Koramma dwom. Wo Awurade, wodom wʼasase; wode Yakob ahonyade san maa no.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Wode wo nkurɔfo bɔne kyɛɛ wɔn na wokataa wɔn nnebɔne nyinaa so.
You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Wode wʼabufuw nyinaa too nkyɛn na wodan fii wʼabufuwhyew ho.
You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 San gye yɛn bio, Onyankopɔn, yɛn Gyefo, na ma wʼani nnye yɛn ho.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.
5 Wo bo befuw yɛn akosi daa ana? Wʼabufuw bɛtoa so akɔ awo ntoantoaso nyinaa so ana?
Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?
6 Worenhyɛ yɛn den bio, na ama wo nkurɔfo asɛpɛw wɔn ho wɔ wo mu ana?
Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.
7 Awurade, kyerɛ yɛn wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no, na ma yɛn wo nkwagye no.
Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to us Your salvation.
8 Metie nea Awurade Nyankopɔn bɛka; ɔde asomdwoe hyɛ ne nkurɔfo, ahotefo no bɔ, enti ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔsan kɔ agyimisɛm ho.
I hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do not turn back to folly.
9 Ampa ara, ne nkwagye bɛn wɔn a wosuro no, na nʼanuonyam bɛtena yɛn asase so.
Surely His salvation [is] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Ɔdɔ ne nokwaredi behyia, na trenee ne asomdwoe befew wɔn ho wɔn ho ano.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Nokwaredi bepue afi asase no so, na trenee ahwɛ afi ɔsoro.
Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
12 Awurade bɛma yɛn nea eye ampa ara na yɛn asase bɛma ne nnɔbae.
YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.
13 Trenee di nʼanim siesie ɔkwan ma nʼanammɔntu.
Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
