Nnwom 125

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

They that trust in Yhwh shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

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

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Yhwh is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

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

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

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

Do good, O Yhwh, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

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

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Yhwh shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
