Nnwom 87

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

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

2 Awurade dɔ Sion apon no sen Yakob atenae nyinaa.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Wɔka wo ho anuonyamsɛm Onyankopɔn kuropɔn:

Glorious things he is speaking of you, 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.’”

“Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

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

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.” The Lord will preserve her.

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

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, “This one was born there, and that one was born there.” (Selah)

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

Singers and dancers alike will say “All my springs are in you.”
