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

[A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Awurade dɔ Sion apon no sen Yakob atenae nyinaa.

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Wɔka wo ho anuonyamsɛm Onyankopɔn kuropɔn:

Glorious things are spoken about you, 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 record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one 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.”

Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.

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

Jehovah will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one 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 those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."
