All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 mmeranteɛ ne mmabaawa mmasiriwa ne mmɔfra nso.
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.

He has lifted his people to honor. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
