Nnwom 146

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!

Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

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

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

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

in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will 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: his hope is in the Lord God himself,

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

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

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

He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

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

The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

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

The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

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

The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.
