1 Ayɛyie dwom. Dawid deɛ. Mɛma wo so, me Onyankopɔn, me Ɔhene; mɛkamfo wo din daa daa.
David's [Psalm of] praise. I will exalt you, my God, my king; and I will bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Ɛda biara, mɛkamfo wo; na mama wo din so daa daa.
Every day will I bless you, and I will praise your name for ever and ever.
3 Awurade so, na ɔsɛ nkamfo kɛseɛ; obiara rentumi nsusu ne kɛseyɛ.
The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.
4 Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ baako bɛkamfo wo nnwuma akyerɛ ɔfoforɔ; wɔbɛka wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ho asɛm.
Generation after generation shall praise your works, and tell of your power.
5 Wɔbɛka wʼanimuonyam ne wo tumi a ɛhran no ho asɛm, na mɛdwene wʼanwanwadwuma ho.
And they shall speak of the glorious majesty of your holiness, and recount your wonders.
6 Wɔbɛka wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ hu no mu tumi ho asɛm; na mapae mu aka wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ no akyerɛ.
And they shall speak of the power of your terrible [acts]; and recount your greatness.
7 Wɔbɛhyɛ wo papayɛ mmorosoɔ no ho fa, na wɔde anigyeɛ ato wo tenenee ho dwom.
They shall utter the memory of the abundance of your goodness, and shall exult in your righteousness.
8 Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ; ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.
The Lord is compassionate, and merciful; long suffering, and abundant in mercy.
9 Awurade yɛ ma obiara; na ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma nʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa.
The Lord is good to those that wait [on him]; and his compassions are over all his works.
10 Ao Awurade, wʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa bɛkamfo wo; na wʼahotefoɔ bɛma wo so.
Let all your works, O Lord, give thanks to you; and let your saints bless you.
11 Wɔbɛka wʼahennie no animuonyam ho asɛm na wɔaka wo mmaninyɛ ho asɛm,
They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your dominion;
12 sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa bɛhunu wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ne wʼahennie animuonyam a ɛhran no.
to make known to the sons of men your power, and the glorious majesty of your 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 everlasting kingdom, and your dominion [endures] through all generations. The Lord is faithful in his words, and holy in all his works.
14 Awurade wowa wɔn a wɔhwe ase na ɔpagya wɔn a wɔn nnesoa ama wɔakom.
The Lord supports all that are falling, and sets up all that are broken down.
15 Ani nyinaa hwɛ wo ɛkwan, na woma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ne berɛ mu.
The eyes of all wait upon you; and you give [them] their food in due season.
16 Wobue wo nsam na woma biribiara a ɛwɔ nkwa no nʼapɛdeɛ.
You open your hands, and fill every living thing with pleasure.
17 Awurade tene wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛ adɔeɛ ma deɛ wayɛ nyinaa.
The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
18 Awurade bɛn wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nyinaa, wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nokorɛ mu nyinaa.
The Lord is near to all that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
19 Ɔyɛ wɔn a wɔsuro no no apɛdeɛ ma wɔn; ɔtie wɔn sufrɛ na ɔgye wɔn.
He will perform the desire of them that fear him: and he will hear their supplication, and save them.
20 Awurade hwɛ wɔn a wɔdɔ no nyinaa so, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn nyinaa.
The Lord preserves all that love him: but all sinners he will utterly destroy.
21 Mʼano bɛkamfo Awurade. Ma abɔdeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no daa daa.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
