Nnwom 138

1 Dawid deɛ. Ao Awurade, mɛfiri mʼakoma nyinaa mu ayi wo ayɛ; mɛto wʼayɛyie dwom wɔ anyame no anim.

I will praise thee, O lord, with my whole heart: for thou hast heard the words of my mouth. I will sing praise to thee in the sight of his angels:

2 Mede mʼani bɛkyerɛ wʼasɔredan kronkron no, akoto wo na makamfo wo din wɔ wʼadɔeɛ ne wo nokorɛdie enti ɛfiri sɛ wɔapagya wo din ne wʼasɛm no asene nneɛma nyinaa.

I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name. For thy mercy, and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.

3 Ɛberɛ a mesu mefrɛɛ wo no, wogyee me so; womaa me nyaa akokoɔduru ne nnamyɛ.

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: thou shall multiply strength in my soul.

4 Ao Awurade, sɛ ahemfo a ɛwɔ ewiase nyinaa te wʼanomu asɛm a ma wɔn nkamfo wo.

May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.

5 Ma wɔnto Awurade akwan ho nnwom, na Awurade animuonyam yɛ kɛseɛ.

And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 Ɛwom sɛ Awurade wɔ ɔsorosoro deɛ, nanso ɔhwɛ mmɔborɔfoɔ, na ahantanfoɔ deɛ, ɔhunu wɔn akyirikyiri.

For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: and the high he knoweth afar off.

7 Ɛwom sɛ menam ɔhaw mu deɛ, nanso wobɔ me nkwa ho ban; wotene wo nsa wɔ mʼatamfoɔ abufuo so, na wode wo nsa nifa gye me nkwa.

If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: and thy right hand hath saved me.

8 Awurade bɛma deɛ wahyehyɛ ama me no aba mu; Ao Awurade, wʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa, nnyaa wo nsa ano adwuma hɔ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.

The Lord will repay for me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: O despise not the work of thy hands.
