Nnwom 125

1 Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to Awurade so no te sɛ Bepɔ Sion, a ɛnwosoɔ na ɛtim hɔ daa.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.

2 Sɛdeɛ mmepɔ atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no, saa ara na Awurade atwa ne nkurɔfoɔ ho ahyia seesei ne daa.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.

3 Amumuyɛfoɔ ahempoma renka asase a wɔde ama teneneefoɔ so. Sɛ ɛba saa a, teneneefoɔ nam wɔn so bɛyɛ bɔne.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

4 Ao Awurade, wɔn a wɔyɛ papa no, yɛ wɔn papa, wɔn a wɔtene wɔ akoma mu no, yɛ wɔn papa.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

5 Na wɔn a wɔmane fa akwan kɔntɔnkye so no deɛ, Awurade bɛpamo wɔn ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ. Asomdwoeɛ nka Israel.

But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
