Seek YHWH and His strength, Seek His face continually.
5 Monkae anwanwadeɛ a wayɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne atemmuo a ɔbuiɛ,
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6 Ao Abraham mma, Onyankopɔn ɔsomfoɔ, Ao Yakob mma a wapa wɔn.
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

Saying, “I give the land of Canaan to you, The portion of your inheritance,”
12 Ɔkaa yei ɛberɛ a na wɔnnɔɔso, ahɔhokuo ketewa bi a wɔwɔ Kanaan.
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 Wɔfirii aman so kɔɔ aman so; firii ahemman mu kɔɔ ahemman mu.
And they go up and down, from nation to nation, From a kingdom to another people.
14 Wamma obi anhyɛ wɔn so; wɔn enti, ɔkaa ahene anim sɛ:
He has not permitted any to oppress them And He reproves kings for their sakes.

Until the time of the coming of His word The saying of YHWH has tried him.

And He brings forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44 ɔde amanaman no nsase maa wɔn, na deɛ ebinom abrɛ anya no bɛyɛɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ
And He gives to them the lands of nations, And they possess the labor of peoples,
