1 Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.

YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.

2 Omununkum ne sum kabii atwa no ho ahyia; trenee ne atɛntrenee yɛ nʼahengua no fapem.

Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

3 Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhyew nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa.

Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.

4 Nʼanyinam hyerɛn wiase; asase hu na ne ho popo.

His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.

5 Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.

Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.

6 Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.

The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.

7 Ahonisomfo nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuw hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.

All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.

8 Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.

Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.

9 Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.

For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over 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 who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers 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] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.

12 Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.

Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
