1 Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth reioyce: let the multitude of the yles be glad.

His lightnings gaue light vnto the worlde: the earth sawe it and was afraide.
5 Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.
The mountaines melted like waxe at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.

Confounded be all they that serue grauen images, and that glory in idoles: worship him all ye gods.
8 Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.
Zion heard of it, and was glad: and the daughters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudgements, O Lord.
9 Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.
For thou, Lord, art most High aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue 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.
Ye that loue the Lord, hate euill: he preserueth the soules of his Saints: hee will deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Hann hyerɛn wɔ atreneefo so na anigye ba wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew no so.
Light is sowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.
12 Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
Reioyce ye righteous in the Lord, and giue thankes for his holy remembrance.
