Nnwom 87

1 Koramma dwom. Wato ne fapem wɔ bepɔw kronkron no so;

“By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on 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 as those that know me; behold, here is 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.”

But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

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

The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

7 Na wɔbɛto dwom se, “Me ntin nyinaa wɔ wo mu.” Kora mma dwom a wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo sɛ wɔnto no “Mahalat Leannot” sanku so.

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