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

Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Momma wɔnkamfo Awurade din, seesei ne daa nyinaa.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore.

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

From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

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

High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

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

Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

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

He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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

That he may 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.

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
