Nnwom 145
1 Ayɛyie dwom. Dawid deɛ. Mɛma wo so, me Onyankopɔn, me Ɔhene; mɛkamfo wo din daa daa.
A Song of praise. Of David. Let me give glory to you, O God, my King; and blessing to your name for ever and ever.
2 Ɛda biara, mɛkamfo wo; na mama wo din so daa daa.
Every day will I give you blessing, praising your name for ever and ever.
3 Awurade so, na ɔsɛ nkamfo kɛseɛ; obiara rentumi nsusu ne kɛseyɛ.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out.
4 Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ baako bɛkamfo wo nnwuma akyerɛ ɔfoforɔ; wɔbɛka wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ho asɛm.
One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.
5 Wɔbɛka wʼanimuonyam ne wo tumi a ɛhran no ho asɛm, na mɛdwene wʼanwanwadwuma ho.
My thoughts will be of the honour and glory of your rule, and of the wonder of your works.
6 Wɔbɛka wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ hu no mu tumi ho asɛm; na mapae mu aka wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ no akyerɛ.
Men will be talking of the power and fear of your acts; I will give word of your glory.
7 Wɔbɛhyɛ wo papayɛ mmorosoɔ no ho fa, na wɔde anigyeɛ ato wo tenenee ho dwom.
Their sayings will be full of the memory of all your mercy, and they will make songs of your righteousness.
8 Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ; ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.
The Lord is full of grace and pity; not quickly angry, but great in mercy.
9 Awurade yɛ ma obiara; na ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma nʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa.
The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.
10 Ao Awurade, wʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa bɛkamfo wo; na wʼahotefoɔ bɛma wo so.
All the works of your hands give praise to you, O Lord; and your saints give you blessing.
11 Wɔbɛka wʼahennie no animuonyam ho asɛm na wɔaka wo mmaninyɛ ho asɛm,
Their words will be of the glory of your kingdom, and their talk of your strength;
12 sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa bɛhunu wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ne wʼahennie animuonyam a ɛhran no.
So that the sons of men may have knowledge of his acts of power, and of the great glory of his kingdom.
13 Wʼahennie yɛ daa ahennie, na wo tumidie wɔ hɔ ma awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ nyinaa. Awurade di ne bɔhyɛ nyinaa so, na ɔwɔ ɔdɔ ma biribiara a wayɛ.
Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.
14 Awurade wowa wɔn a wɔhwe ase na ɔpagya wɔn a wɔn nnesoa ama wɔakom.
The Lord is the support of all who are crushed, and the lifter up of all who are bent down.
15 Ani nyinaa hwɛ wo ɛkwan, na woma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ne berɛ mu.
The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.
16 Wobue wo nsam na woma biribiara a ɛwɔ nkwa no nʼapɛdeɛ.
By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
17 Awurade tene wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛ adɔeɛ ma deɛ wayɛ nyinaa.
The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.
18 Awurade bɛn wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nyinaa, wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nokorɛ mu nyinaa.
The Lord is near all those who give honour to his name; even to all who give honour to him with true hearts.
19 Ɔyɛ wɔn a wɔsuro no no apɛdeɛ ma wɔn; ɔtie wɔn sufrɛ na ɔgye wɔn.
To his worshippers, he will give their desire; their cry comes to his ears, and he gives them salvation.
20 Awurade hwɛ wɔn a wɔdɔ no nyinaa so, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn nyinaa.
The Lord will keep all his worshippers from danger; but he will send destruction on all sinners.
21 Mʼano bɛkamfo Awurade. Ma abɔdeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no daa daa.
My mouth will give praise to the Lord; let all flesh be blessing his holy name for ever and ever.
