Nnwom 97
1 Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.
For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
2 Omununkum ne sum kabii atwa no ho ahyia; trenee ne atɛntrenee yɛ nʼahengua no fapem.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhyew nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa.
A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 Nʼanyinam hyerɛn wiase; asase hu na ne ho popo.
His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5 Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.
The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.
The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7 Ahonisomfo nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuw hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.
Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
8 Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.
Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
9 Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.
For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
10 Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ Awurade no nkyi bɔne, ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfo a wɔyɛ nokwafo no ho ban na ogye wɔn fi amumɔyɛfo nsam.
You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
11 Hann hyerɛn wɔ atreneefo so na anigye ba wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew no so.
Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
12 Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
