Nnwom 103
1 Dawid deɛ. Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu adeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.
[A Psalm] of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all [that is] within me, [bless] his holy name.
2 Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mfiri ne nneyɛeɛ pa nyinaa,
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his praises:
3 ɔno na ɔde wo mfomsoɔ nyinaa kyɛ woɔ na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,
who forgives all your transgressions, who heals all your diseases;
4 ɔgye wo nkwa firi damena mu na ɔde adɔeɛ ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotire,
who redeems your life from corruption; who crowns you with mercy and compassion;
5 ɔde nnepa ma wo sɛ wʼapɛdeɛ na wo mmeranteberɛ yɛ foforɔ sɛ ɔkɔdeɛ.
who satisfies your desire with good things: [so that] your youth shall be renewed like [that] of the eagle.
6 Awurade yɛ adetenenee na ɔbu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntenenee.
The Lord executes mercy and judgement for all that are injured.
7 Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ hunuu ne nneyɛɛ.
He made known his ways to Moses, his will to the children of Israel.
8 Mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ ne Awurade, ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.
The Lord is compassionate and pitiful, longsuffering, and full of mercy.
9 Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ soboɔ, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔ nkɔsi daa;
He will not be always angry; neither will he be wrathful for ever.
10 Ɔrenhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛdeɛ ɛfata na ɔrentua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor recompensed us according to our iniquities.
11 Na sɛdeɛ ɔsoro ne asase ntam ware no, saa ara na nʼadɔeɛ so wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, the Lord has [so] increased his mercy towards them that fear him.
12 Sɛdeɛ apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ ntam ware no, saa ara na wama yɛn ne yɛn mmarato ntam kwan aware.
As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Sɛdeɛ agya yam hyehye no ne mma ho no, saa ara na Awurade yam hyehye no ma wɔn a wɔsuro no,
As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him.
14 na ɔnim sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae sɛ yɛyɛ mfuturo.
For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust.
15 Ɔdasani deɛ, ne nna te sɛ ɛserɛ, ɔyɛ frɔmm sɛ wiram nhwiren;
[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish.
16 sɛ mframa bɔ fa ne so a, na ɔnni hɔ, na ne sibea nnim no bio.
For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more.
17 Nanso ɛfiri mmerɛsanten kɔsi nnasanten Awurade adɔeɛ wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so, na ne tenenee wɔ wɔn mma mma so,
But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;
18 wɔn a wɔdi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.
to them that keep his covenant, and remember his commandments to do them.
19 Awurade asi nʼahennwa wɔ soro, na nʼahennie di adeɛ nyinaa so.
The Lord has prepared his throne in the heaven; and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfoɔ, mo atumfoɔ a moyɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ, mo a motie nʼasɛm.
Bless the Lord, all you his angels, mighty in strength, who perform his bidding, [ready] to listen to the voice of his words.
21 Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfoɔ a moyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ.
Bless the Lord, all you his hosts; [you] ministers of his that do his will.
22 Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa deɛ ɛwɔ nʼaheman mu nyinaa. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!
Bless the Lord, all his works, in every place of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
