Nnwom 146

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 Mɛkamfo Awurade me nkwa nna nyinaa; mɛto ayɛyi dwom ama me Onyankopɔn, sɛ mete ase yi.

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Mommfa mo ho nto mmapɔmma so, adasamma a wɔrentumi nnye nkwa.

Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

4 Sɛ wɔn honhom tu kɔ a, wɔsane kɔ dɔteɛ mu, saa da no ara wɔn nsusuiɛ nyinaa yɛ kwa.

When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

5 Nhyira ne deɛ ne ɔboafoɔ ne Yakob Onyankopɔn, deɛ nʼanidasoɔ wɔ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn mu.

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Ɔno ne ɔsoro ne asase Yɛfoɔ, ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu nyinaa Awurade a ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ daa no.

the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

7 Ɔdi ma wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so, na ɔma wɔn a ɛkɔm de wɔn aduane. Awurade gyaa nneduafoɔ,

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

8 Awurade ma anifirafoɔ hunu adeɛ. Awurade pagya wɔn a wɔakom. Awurade dɔ teneneefoɔ.

the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

9 Awurade hwɛ ahɔhoɔ so na ɔwowa nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ, na amumuyɛfoɔ akwan deɛ, ɔdane ani.

The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

10 Sion, Awurade wo Onyankopɔn di ɔhene daa daa, wɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa so. Monkamfo Awurade.

The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
