Nnwom 111

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

Hallelujah. I will thank the Lord with all [my] 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.

Great are the works of the Lord, they are sought for [by them] in all their desires.

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

Glorious and majestic is his doing, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Ɔma yɛkae nʼanwanwadeɛ; Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ.

He hath made a memorial for his wonderful works: gracious and merciful is the Lord.

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

He hath given sustenance unto those that fear him: he will for ever be mindful of his covenant.

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

The power of his works hath he told unto his people, that he might give them the heritage of nations.

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

The works of his hands are truth and justice: faultless are all his precepts.

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

They are well supported for ever and eternally: they are framed in truth and uprightness.

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

Redemption hath he sent unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and to be feared 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 beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; a good understanding have all that fulfill [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.
