Nnwom 101

1 Dawid Dwom. Mɛto wo dɔ ne wo tenenee ho dwom; Ao Awurade, mɛto ayɛyie dwom ama wo.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

2 Mɛhwɛ yie abu ɔbra a ɛho teɛ. Dabɛn na wobɛba me nkyɛn? Mede akoma a afɔdie nni mu bɛnante me fie.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 Meremfa mʼani nsi adeɛ a ɛyɛ tane biara so. Mekyiri nnipa a wɔnni gyidie; Me ne wɔn nni hwee yɛ.

I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave unto me.

4 Nnipa a wɔn akoma yɛ kontonkyi remmɛn me; me ne bɔne nni hwee yɛ.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.

5 Obiara a ɔdi ne yɔnko ho nsekuro wɔ kɔkoam no, ɔno na mɛsɛe; deɛ ɔwɔ ahantan ani ne ahomasoɔ akoma, ɔno na merennyegye ne so.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

6 Mʼani bɛkɔ anokwafoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no soɔ no so na me ne wɔn atena; deɛ ne nanteɛ ho nni asɛm no, ɔno na ɔbɛsom me.

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

7 Deɛ ɔyɛ ɔdaadaafoɔ biara rentena me fie; deɛ ɔtwa nkontompo no rennyina mʼanim.

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

8 Adekyeeɛ biara, mɛsɛe amumuyɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ asase yi so nyinaa; na mapam ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ biara afiri Awurade kuropɔn mu.

Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.
