Nnwom 15

1 Dawid dwom. Awurade, hwan na ɔbɛsoeɛ wo kronkronbea hɔ? Hwan na ɔbɛtena wo bepɔ kronkron no so?

[A Psalm by David.] LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

2 Deɛ ne ho nni asɛm na ɔyɛ deɛ ɛtene, deɛ ɔka nokorɛ a ɛfiri nʼakomam

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

3 na ɔmfa ne tɛkrɛma nsɛe nnipa deɛ ɔnnyɛ ne yɔnko bɔne na ɔmmu ne yɔnko onipa abomfiaa,

He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

4 deɛ ɔbu afideyɛni animtiaa na ɔde anidie ma wɔn a wɔsuro Awurade, deɛ ɔdi ne ntam so ɛberɛ a ɛtia no mpo,

In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

5 deɛ ɔde ne sika bɔ bosea a ɔnnye nsiho na ɔnnye adanmudeɛ ntia deɛ ɔdi bem. Deɛ ɔyɛ yeinom no renhinhim da.

He doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.
