A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in the holy mountains.

2 Awurade dɔ Sion apon no sen Yakob atenae nyinaa.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Wɔka wo ho anuonyamsɛm Onyankopɔn kuropɔn:

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 “Mede Rahab ne Babilonia bɛka wɔn a wɔyɛ osetie ma me no ho, Filistia, Tiro ne Kus nso na maka se, ‘Wɔwoo eyinom wɔ Sion.’”

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man] was born there.

5 Ampa ara wɔbɛka afa Sion ho se, “Wɔwoo oyi ne ɔno wɔ no mu, na Ɔsorosoroni no ankasa de no betim hɔ.”

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

6 Awurade bɛkyerɛw wɔ nnipa dinkyerɛw nhoma no mu se, “Wɔwoo oyi wɔ Sion.”

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. (Selah)

7 Na wɔbɛto dwom se, “Me ntin nyinaa wɔ wo mu.”

As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be there: ] all my springs [are] in thee.
