Nnwom 111

1 Monkamfo Awurade! Mɛfiri mʼakoma nyinaa mu ama Awurade so wɔ ateneneefoɔ adwabɔ ne asafo no mu.

Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation.

2 Awurade nnwuma yɛ kɛseɛ; wɔn a wɔn ani gye ho nyinaa susu ho.

The works of Jehovah are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

3 Ne nnwuma yɛ tumi ne animuonyam, na ne tenenee wɔ hɔ daa.

His work is honor and majesty; And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Ɔma yɛkae nʼanwanwadeɛ; Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ.

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is gracious and merciful.

5 Ɔma wɔn a wosuro no no aduane; ɔkae nʼapam no daa.

He hath given food unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.

6 Wakyerɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ tumi a ɛwɔ ne nnwuma mu, sɛ ɔde aman afoforɔ nsase ama wɔn.

He hath showed his people the power of his works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 Ne nsa ano nnwuma yɛ nokorɛ na ɛtene; nʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa mu wɔ ahotosoɔ.

The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.

8 Ɛtim hɔ daa daa, nokorɛ ne tenenee mu na ɔyɛeɛ.

They are established for ever and ever; They are done in truth and uprightness.

9 Ɔde ɔgyeɛ maa ne nkurɔfoɔ; ɔde nʼapam sii hɔ afebɔɔ, ne din yɛ kronkron na ɛyɛ hu.

He hath sent redemption unto his people; He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.

10 Awurade suro yɛ nyansa mfitiaseɛ; wɔn a wɔdi nʼahyɛdeɛ so nyinaa wɔ nhunumu pa. Ɔno na daa ayɛyie wɔ no.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: His praise endureth for ever.
