Nnwom 92
1 Dwom a wɔto no Homeda. Eye sɛ wɔkamfo wo Awurade na wɔto dwom de hyɛ wo anuonyam, Ɔsorosoroni,
It is a good thing to give thanks to Jehovah, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High,
2 na wɔpae mu ka wʼadɔe anɔpa ne wo nokware anadwo,
to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 wɔ hama du sanku so ne sankuten nnwom mu.
with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp.
4 Awurade, wo nneyɛe ma mʼani gye; mede anigye to nnwom, wo nsa ano nnwuma nti.
For thou, Jehovah, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 Awurade, wo nnwuma yɛ akɛse, na wo nyansa mu dɔ!
How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6 Agyimifo nnim na nkwaseafo nte ase,
A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.
7 amumɔyɛfo benyin sɛ sare na abɔnefo bɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm de, nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever,
8 Na wo Awurade, wɔayɛ wo ɔkɛse afebɔɔ.
but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.
9 Awurade, ampa ara, wʼatamfo bɛyera; na wɔbɛhwete abɔnefo nyinaa.
For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 Woama me ahoɔden te sɛ ɛko; woahwie ngohuam papa agu me so.
But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,
11 Mahu mʼatamfo nkogu a wɔadi, mate sɛnea mʼatamfo atirimɔdenfo aguan afi akono.
and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me.
12 Atreneefo bɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ abedua, wobenyin sɛ Lebanon sida;
A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 nea wɔadua wɔ Awurade fi, wobenyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn adiwo hɔ.
Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Wɔbɛkɔ so asow aba, onyinkyɛ mu mpo, wɔbɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm sɛ ahabammono,
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green
15 de akyerɛ sɛ, “Awurade yɛ ɔtreneeni; ɔyɛ me botan, na atirimɔdensɛm biara nni ne mu.”
to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
