1 Monkamfo Awurade. Ao, mo Awurade asomfoɔ, monkamfo no, monkamfo Awurade din.

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Momma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, seesei ne daa nyinaa.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

3 Ɛfiri baabi a owia pue kɔsi faako a ɔkɔtɔ, ma wɔnkamfo Awurade din.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

4 Wɔama Awurade so aman nyinaa so, nʼanimuonyam tra ɔsorosoro.

The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

5 Hwan na ɔte sɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, Ɔbaako no a ɔdi ɔhene wɔ ɔsorosoro,

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 ɔno na ɔbɔ ne mu ase hwɛ ɔsorosoro ne asase.

And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

7 Ɔma ahiafoɔ so firi mfuturo mu na ɔpagya onnibie firi nso sie so;

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8 ɔde wɔn tena mmapɔmma mu, wɔn nkurɔfoɔ mmapɔmma mu.

That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9 Ɔbɔ obonini atenaseɛ wɔ ne fie sɛ ɔbaatan a nʼani gyeɛ. Monkamfo Awurade.

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
