Nnwom 149

1 Monkamfo Awurade. Monto dwom foforɔ mma Awurade, monkamfo no wɔ ahotefoɔ asafo mu.

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

2 Ma Israel ani nnye ne Yɛfoɔ mu. Ma Sion mma ani nnye wɔn Ɔhene mu.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.

3 Ma wɔmfa asa nkamfo ne din na wɔmfa sankuo ne akasaeɛ nto dwom mma no.

Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

4 Na Awurade ani sɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ; ɔde nkwagyeɛ kyɛ hyɛ ahobrɛasefoɔ.

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

5 Momma ahotefoɔ nni ahurisie wɔ animuonyam yi mu; na wɔnto ahosɛpɛ dwom wɔ wɔn mpa so.

Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

6 Onyankopɔn nkamfo nhyɛ wɔn anomu na ɛnyɛ akofena anofanu wɔ wɔn nsam,

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

7 sɛ wɔmfa ntɔ werɛ wɔ amanaman no so ne asotwe wɔ nnipa no so,

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

8 sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn nkyekyere wɔn ahemfo, ne dadeɛ mpɔkyerɛ ngu wɔn atitire,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:

9 sɛ wɔmfa mmu atɛn sɛdeɛ wɔatwerɛ atia wɔn no. Yei ne nʼahotefoɔ nyinaa animuonyam. Monkamfo Awurade.

To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
