1 Ayɛyie dwom. Dawid deɛ. Mɛma wo so, me Onyankopɔn, me Ɔhene; mɛkamfo wo din daa daa.
[A praise psalm by David.] I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
2 Ɛda biara, mɛkamfo wo; na mama wo din so daa daa.
Every day I will praise you. I will extol your name forever and ever.
3 Awurade so, na ɔsɛ nkamfo kɛseɛ; obiara rentumi nsusu ne kɛseyɛ.
Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised. His greatness is unsearchable.
4 Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ baako bɛkamfo wo nnwuma akyerɛ ɔfoforɔ; wɔbɛka wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ho asɛm.
One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.
5 Wɔbɛka wʼanimuonyam ne wo tumi a ɛhran no ho asɛm, na mɛdwene wʼanwanwadwuma ho.
Of the glorious splendor of your majesty they will speak, of your wondrous works, I will meditate.
6 Wɔbɛka wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ hu no mu tumi ho asɛm; na mapae mu aka wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ no akyerɛ.
Men will speak of the might of your awesome acts. I will declare your greatness.
7 Wɔbɛhyɛ wo papayɛ mmorosoɔ no ho fa, na wɔde anigyeɛ ato wo tenenee ho dwom.
They will utter the memory of your great goodness, and will sing of your righteousness.
8 Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ; ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.
YHWH is gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving kindness.
9 Awurade yɛ ma obiara; na ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma nʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa.
YHWH is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.
10 Ao Awurade, wʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa bɛkamfo wo; na wʼahotefoɔ bɛma wo so.
All your works will give thanks to you, YHWH. And your faithful ones will bless you.
11 Wɔbɛka wʼahennie no animuonyam ho asɛm na wɔaka wo mmaninyɛ ho asɛm,
They will speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk about your power;
12 sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa bɛhunu wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ne wʼahennie animuonyam a ɛhran no.
to make known to the descendants of Adam his mighty acts, the glory of the majesty 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 everlasting kingdom. Your dominion endures throughout all generations. YHWH is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds.
14 Awurade wowa wɔn a wɔhwe ase na ɔpagya wɔn a wɔn nnesoa ama wɔakom.
YHWH upholds all who fall, and raises up all those who are bowed down.
15 Ani nyinaa hwɛ wo ɛkwan, na woma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ne berɛ mu.
The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.
16 Wobue wo nsam na woma biribiara a ɛwɔ nkwa no nʼapɛdeɛ.
You yourself open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 Awurade tene wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛ adɔeɛ ma deɛ wayɛ nyinaa.
YHWH is righteous in all his ways, and faithful in all his deeds.
18 Awurade bɛn wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nyinaa, wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nokorɛ mu nyinaa.
YHWH is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
19 Ɔyɛ wɔn a wɔsuro no no apɛdeɛ ma wɔn; ɔtie wɔn sufrɛ na ɔgye wɔn.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
20 Awurade hwɛ wɔn a wɔdɔ no nyinaa so, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn nyinaa.
YHWH preserves all those who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.
21 Mʼano bɛkamfo Awurade. Ma abɔdeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no daa daa.
My mouth will speak the praise of YHWH. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
