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

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

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

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the praises of God be in their mouths and a two-edged sword 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 acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
