Nnwom 145
1 Ayɛyie dwom. Dawid deɛ. Mɛma wo so, me Onyankopɔn, me Ɔhene; mɛkamfo wo din daa daa.
A Psalm of Praise. David’s. I will extol thee, my God, O King, and will bless thy Name, to times age-abiding and beyond:
2 Ɛda biara, mɛkamfo wo; na mama wo din so daa daa.
Every day, will I bless thee, and praise thy Name, to times age-abiding and beyond.
3 Awurade so, na ɔsɛ nkamfo kɛseɛ; obiara rentumi nsusu ne kɛseyɛ.
Great is Yahweh—and worthy to be heartily praised, And, his greatness, is unsearchable.
4 Awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ baako bɛkamfo wo nnwuma akyerɛ ɔfoforɔ; wɔbɛka wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ho asɛm.
Generation unto generation, shall celebrate thy works, and, thy mighty deeds, shall they tell:
5 Wɔbɛka wʼanimuonyam ne wo tumi a ɛhran no ho asɛm, na mɛdwene wʼanwanwadwuma ho.
The splendour of the glory of thy majesty, shall they speak, and, thy wonders, will I utter.
6 Wɔbɛka wo nnwuma a ɛyɛ hu no mu tumi ho asɛm; na mapae mu aka wo nneyɛɛ akɛseɛ no akyerɛ.
And, the might of thy terrible acts, shall men speak, and, as for thy greatness, I will recount it.
7 Wɔbɛhyɛ wo papayɛ mmorosoɔ no ho fa, na wɔde anigyeɛ ato wo tenenee ho dwom.
The memory of thy great goodness, shall men pour forth, and, thy righteousness, shall they shout aloud.
8 Awurade yɛ ɔdomfoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ; ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.
Gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh, —slow to anger, and of great lovingkindness.
9 Awurade yɛ ma obiara; na ɔwɔ ahummɔborɔ ma nʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa.
Good is Yahweh to all, and, his tender compassions, are over all his works.
10 Ao Awurade, wʼabɔdeɛ nyinaa bɛkamfo wo; na wʼahotefoɔ bɛma wo so.
All thy works, O Yahweh, will give thanks unto thee, —and, thy men of lovingkindness, will bless thee:
11 Wɔbɛka wʼahennie no animuonyam ho asɛm na wɔaka wo mmaninyɛ ho asɛm,
The glory of thy kingdom, will they tell, —and, thy power, will they speak.
12 sɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa bɛhunu wo nnwuma akɛseɛ ne wʼahennie animuonyam a ɛhran no.
To make known to the sons of men, his mighty deeds, and the splendid 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.
Thy kingdom, is a kingdom of all ages, —and, thy dominion, is over generation after generation.
14 Awurade wowa wɔn a wɔhwe ase na ɔpagya wɔn a wɔn nnesoa ama wɔakom.
Yahweh is ready to uphold all who are falling, and to raise all who are laid prostrate.
15 Ani nyinaa hwɛ wo ɛkwan, na woma wɔn wɔn aduane wɔ ne berɛ mu.
The eyes of all, for thee, do wait, and, thou, givest them their food in its season.
16 Wobue wo nsam na woma biribiara a ɛwɔ nkwa no nʼapɛdeɛ.
Thou, openest thy hand, and fillest every living thing with gladness.
17 Awurade tene wɔ nʼakwan nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛ adɔeɛ ma deɛ wayɛ nyinaa.
Righteous is Yahweh 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.
Near is Yahweh to all who call upon him, —to all them who call upon him in faithfulness.
19 Ɔyɛ wɔn a wɔsuro no no apɛdeɛ ma wɔn; ɔtie wɔn sufrɛ na ɔgye wɔn.
The desire of them who revere him, will he fulfil, and, their cry, will he hear, and will save them.
20 Awurade hwɛ wɔn a wɔdɔ no nyinaa so, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn nyinaa.
Yahweh preserveth all who love him, but, all the lawless, will he destroy.
21 Mʼano bɛkamfo Awurade. Ma abɔdeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no daa daa.
The praise of Yahweh, my mouth shall speak, That all flesh may bless his holy Name, Unto times age-abiding and beyond.
