Nnwom 108
1 Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, mʼakoma atɔ me yam; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayɛyie dwom.
A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
2 Monyane, sankuo ne bɛnta! Mɛnyane anɔpahema.
Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
3 Ao Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman no mu; mɛto wo ho dwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
4 Wʼadɔeɛ so, ɛkorɔn sene ɔsoro; wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem.
For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
5 Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanimuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
6 Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 Onyankopɔn akasa afiri ne kronkronbea sɛ, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusu Sukot Bɔnhwa.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead yɛ me dea; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dadeɛ kyɛ, Yuda yɛ mʼahempoma.
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9 Moab yɛ me dwaresɛn, Edom so na meto me mpaboa guo; Filistia so na mebɔ ose.”
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
10 Hwan na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hwan na ɔbɛdi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
11 Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn? Wo ne yɛn nsraadɔm renkɔ ɔsa bio anaa?
[Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
12 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfoɔ no, na ɔdasani mmoa nka hwee.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
13 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yɛbɛdi nkonim, na ɔbɛtiatia yɛn atamfoɔ so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ no.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
