Nnwom 138

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

“A psalm of David.” I will praise thee with my whole heart; Before the gods will I sing praise to thee;

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 toward thy holy temple, And praise thy name for thy goodness and thy truth; For thy promise thou hast magnified above all thy name!

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

In the day when I called, thou didst hear me; Thou didst strengthen me, and encourage 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 shall praise thee, O LORD! When they hear the promises of thy mouth!

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

Yea, they shall sing of 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.

The LORD is high, yet he looketh upon the humble, And the proud doth he know 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 through the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me; Thou wilt stretch forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies; Thou wilt save me by thy right hand!

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 perform all things for me; Thy goodness, O LORD! endureth ever: Forsake not the works of thine hands!
