1 Monna Awurade ase na ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa.
Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.
2 Momma wɔn a Awurade agye wɔn nka saa, wɔn a wagye wɔn afiri ɔtamfoɔ nsam no,
Let them, which haue bene redeemed of the Lord, shewe how he hath deliuered them from the hand of the oppressour,
3 wɔn a ɔboaboaa wɔn ano firii nsase soɔ no, ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ, atifi kɔsi anafoɔ.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South.
4 Ebinom kyinkyinii wɔ nsase paradada so, a wɔanhunu ɛkwan ankɔ kuropɔn no mu, baabi a wɔbɛtumi anya atenaeɛ.
When they wandered in the desert and wildernesse out of the waie, and founde no citie to dwell in,
5 Ɛkɔm ne sukɔm dee wɔn na wɔtotɔɔ baha.
Both hungrie and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.
6 Afei wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse,
7 Ɔde wɔn faa ɛkwan tee so baa kuropɔn a wɔtumi tena mu no mu.
And led them forth by the right way, that they might goe to a citie of habitation.
8 Momma wɔnna Awurade ase, nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da ho ne nʼanwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ ma nnipa.
Let them therefore confesse before ye Lord his louing kindnesse, and his wonderfull woorkes before the sonnes of men.
9 Ɔma wɔn a sukɔm de wɔn nsuo na ɔde nnepa hyɛ wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn ma.
For he satisfied the thirstie soule, and filled the hungrie soule with goodnesse.
10 Ebinom tenaa esum ne awerɛhoɔ mu, nneduafoɔ a wɔde dadeɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn agu wɔn,
They that dwell in darkenesse and in the shadowe of death, being bounde in miserie and yron,
11 ɛfiri sɛ, wɔtee Onyankopɔn nsɛm ho atua na wɔbuu Ɔsorosoroni no agyinatuo animtiaa.
Because they rebelled against the wordes of the Lord, and despised the counsell of the most High,
12 Enti ɔgyaa wɔn maa adwuma den; wɔsuntisuntiiɛ na wɔannya ɔboafoɔ.
When he humbled their heart with heauines, then they fell downe and there was no helper.
13 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade wɔ wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.
Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse.

He brought them out of darkenes, and out of the shadowe of death, and brake their bandes asunder.

17 Ebinom bɛyɛɛ nkwaseafoɔ, wɔn atuateɛ enti na wɔhunuu amane, wɔn nnebɔne enti.
Fooles by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.
18 Wɔkyirii aduane nyinaa na wɔtwe bɛnee owuo ɛpono ano.
Their soule abhorreth al meat, and they are brought to deaths doore.
19 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, wɔn amanehunu mu na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.

He sendeth his worde and healeth them, and deliuereth them from their graues.

26 Wɔpagya kɔɔ sorosoro na wɔsiane kɔɔ ebunu mu tɔnn; wɔn amanehunu mu no wɔn bo tui.
They mount vp to the heauen, and descend to ye deepe, so that their soule melteth for trouble.
27 Wɔkyim totɔɔ ntintan sɛ asabofoɔ; na wɔnhunu deɛ wɔnnyɛ bio.
They are tossed to and from, and stagger like a drunken man, and all their cunning is gone.
28 Afei, wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, wɔn amanehunu mu, na ɔgyee wɔn firii wɔn ahohiahia mu.

And let them exalt him in the Congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the Elders.
33 Ɔdanee nsubɔntene maa no yɛɛ ɛserɛ, asutene yɛɛ asase wesee,
He turneth the floodes into a wildernesse, and the springs of waters into drinesse,
34 na asasebereɛ danee nkyenenkyene, wɔn a wɔte asase no so amumuyɛ enti.
And a fruitfull land into barrennes for the wickednes of them that dwell therein.
35 Ɔdanee ɛserɛ so maa no yɛɛ nsuwansuwa na nkyɛkyerɛ yɛɛ sɛ asutene ananmu;
Againe hee turneth the wildernesse into pooles of water, and the drie lande into water springs.
36 Ɛhɔ na ɔde wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn kɔsoɛe, na wɔkyekyeree kuropɔn tenaa mu.
And there he placeth the hungrie, and they builde a citie to dwell in,

Yet he raiseth vp the poore out of miserie, and maketh him families like a flocke of sheepe.

The righteous shall see it, and reioyce, and all iniquitie shall stoppe her mouth.

Who is wise that hee may obserue these things? for they shall vnderstand the louing kindnesse of the Lord.
