Nnwom 111

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

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

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

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

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

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

4 Ɔma yɛkae nʼanwanwadeɛ; Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

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

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

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

He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

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

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

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

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

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

He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible 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 the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
