Nnwom 121

1 Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Mema mʼani so kyerɛ mmepɔ no, ɛhe na me mmoa firi bɛba?

I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.

2 Me mmoa firi Awurade, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfoɔ no.

My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3 Ɔremma wo nan nwatiri, deɛ ɔhwɛ wo no, ɔrentɔ nko.

He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.

4 Ampa ara deɛ ɔhwɛ Israel no rentɔ nko na ɔrenna.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Awurade hwɛ wo so; Awurade ne wo nwunu wɔ wo nsa nifa so;

The LORD is your keeper: the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

6 Owia renhye wo wɔ awiaberɛ mu, na ɔsrane nso renha wo anadwo.

The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Awurade bɛbɔ wo ho ban afiri ɔhaw nyinaa ho, ɔbɛhwɛ wo nkwa so;

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

8 Awurade bɛhwɛ wʼadifire ne wo efieba so, seesei ne daa.

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
