Nnwom 113

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

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Momma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, seesei ne daa nyinaa.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

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

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

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

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is 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 dwells in the high places,

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

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

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

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

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

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

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

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
