Nnwom 138

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

[By David.] I will give you thanks, Jehovah, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.

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 bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.

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

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

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

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Jehovah, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

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

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Jehovah; for great is Jehovah's glory.

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

For though Jehovah is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.

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.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save 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.

Jehovah will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Jehovah, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
