Nnwom 103
1 Dawid deɛ. Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu adeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.
A psalm of David. I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and with all that is within me, I give praise to his holy name.
2 Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mfiri ne nneyɛeɛ pa nyinaa,
I give praise to Yahweh with all my life, and I remember all of his good deeds.
3 ɔno na ɔde wo mfomsoɔ nyinaa kyɛ woɔ na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,
He forgives all your sins; he heals all your diseases.
4 ɔgye wo nkwa firi damena mu na ɔde adɔeɛ ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotire,
He redeems your life from destruction; he crowns you with covenant faithfulness and acts of tender mercy.
5 ɔde nnepa ma wo sɛ wʼapɛdeɛ na wo mmeranteberɛ yɛ foforɔ sɛ ɔkɔdeɛ.
He satisfies your life with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
6 Awurade yɛ adetenenee na ɔbu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntenenee.
Yahweh does what is fair and does acts of justice for all who are oppressed.
7 Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ hunuu ne nneyɛɛ.
He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the descendants of Israel.
8 Mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ ne Awurade, ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.
Yahweh is merciful and gracious; he is patient; he has great covenant loyalty.
9 Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ soboɔ, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔ nkɔsi daa;
He will not always discipline; he is not always angry.
10 Ɔrenhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛdeɛ ɛfata na ɔrentua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.
He does not deal with us as our sins deserve or repay us for what our sins demand.
11 Na sɛdeɛ ɔsoro ne asase ntam ware no, saa ara na nʼadɔeɛ so wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so.
For as the skies are high above the earth, so great is his covenant faithfulness toward those who honor 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, this is how far he has removed the guilt of our sins 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 has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who honor him.
14 na ɔnim sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae sɛ yɛyɛ mfuturo.
For he knows how we are formed; he knows that we are dust.
15 Ɔdasani deɛ, ne nna te sɛ ɛserɛ, ɔyɛ frɔmm sɛ wiram nhwiren;
As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower in a field.
16 sɛ mframa bɔ fa ne so a, na ɔnni hɔ, na ne sibea nnim no bio.
The wind blows over it, and it disappears, and no one can even tell where it once grew.
17 Nanso ɛfiri mmerɛsanten kɔsi nnasanten Awurade adɔeɛ wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so, na ne tenenee wɔ wɔn mma mma so,
But the covenant faithfulness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who honor him. His righteousness extends to their descendants.
18 wɔn a wɔdi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.
They keep his covenant and remember to obey his instructions.
19 Awurade asi nʼahennwa wɔ soro, na nʼahennie di adeɛ nyinaa so.
Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over everyone.
20 Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfoɔ, mo atumfoɔ a moyɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ, mo a motie nʼasɛm.
Give praise to Yahweh, you his angels, you mighty ones who are strong and do his word, and obey the sound of his word.
21 Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfoɔ a moyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ.
Give praise to Yahweh, all his hosts, you are his servants who carry out his will.
22 Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa deɛ ɛwɔ nʼaheman mu nyinaa. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!
Give praise to Yahweh, all his creatures, in all the places where he reigns. I will give praise to Yahweh with all my life.
