Ye that stand in the house of Yhwh, in the courts of the house of our God,
3 Monkamfo Awurade ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ; monto ayɛyie dwom mma ne din, na ɛno na ɛyɛ anisɔ.
Praise Yah; for Yhwh is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

For Yah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

For I know that Yhwh is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Awurade yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ biara, wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, ɛpo ne emu abunu nyinaa.
Whatsoever Yhwh pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 Ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so firi asase ano ba; ɔsoma anyinam ka osutɔ ho na ɔma ahum tu firi nʼakoradan mu.
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Amorifoɔ ɔhene, Sihon Basan ɔhene, Og ne Kanaan ahemfo nyinaa,
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 na ɔde wɔn nsase maa sɛ agyapadeɛ; ɔde maa ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ.
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Ao Awurade, wo din wɔ hɔ daa. Ao Awurade wo din ahyeta awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations.
14 Awurade bɛdi ama ne nkurɔfoɔ na ɔbɛhunu nʼasomfoɔ mmɔbɔ.
For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 Amanaman no ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wɔntumi nkasa, wɔwɔ ani, nanso wɔnhunu adeɛ;
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm, na ahomeɛ nso nni wɔn anom.
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ ahoni no bɛyɛ sɛ wɔn ara, saa ara na wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wɔn so no bɛyɛ.
They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

Bless Yhwh, O house of Levi: ye that fear Yhwh, bless Yhwh.

Blessed be Yhwh out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelu jah.
