Nnwom 110

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me Wura sɛ, “Tena me nifa so kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”

Of David, a psalm. This said the Lord concerning my lord, “Sit at my right hand, till I set your foot on the neck of your foes.”

2 Awurade bɛtrɛ wʼahempoma denden mu afiri Sion; na wobɛdi ɔhene wɔ wʼatamfoɔ so.

On Zion the Lord is wielding your sceptre of might, and charges you to rule over the foes that surround you.

3 Wʼakodɔm bɛyi wɔn akoma mu ɛda a wobɛkɔ sa. Tumi kronkron bɛyɛ wʼaduradeɛ na wo mmabunu bɛba wo nkyɛn sɛdeɛ bosuo gugu anɔpahema.

The day that you march to battle your people will follow you gladly young warriors in holy array, like dew-drops, born of the morning.

4 Awurade aka ntam na ɔrensesa nʼadwene: “Woyɛ daapem ɔsɔfoɔ te sɛ Melkisedek sɛso.”

The Lord has sworn and will not repent, “As for you, you are priest for ever as Melchizedek was.”

5 Awurade wɔ wo nifa so; ɔbɛdwerɛ ahemfo wɔ nʼabufuhyeɛ da no.

By your side will the Lord shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6 Ɔbɛbu amanaman atɛn aboaboa afunu ano; na wadwerɛ sodifoɔ a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.

He will execute judgment filling the valleys with dead, the broad fields with shattered heads.

7 Ɔbɛnom asuwa a ɛda ɛkwan nkyɛn mu nsuo enti ɔbɛdi nkonim. Ɔhene no bɛnom asuwa a ɛda kwankyɛn mu nsuo, na wanya ahoɔden, na wagyina nkonimdie mu.

He will drink of the brook by the way, and march onward with uplifted head.
