Nnwom 33
1 Momfa ahurisie nto dwom mma Awurade, mo teneneefoɔ, ɛfata sɛ wɔn a wɔtene no yi no ayɛ.
[A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.
2 Momfa sankuo nkamfo Awurade; monto dwom mma no wɔ sankuten so.
Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
3 Monto dwom foforɔ mma no. Momfa nimdeɛ mmɔ sankuo no na monteam ahurisie so!
Sing to him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 Awurade asɛm tene, na ɛyɛ nokorɛ ɔdi nokorɛ wɔ deɛ ɔyɛ nyinaa mu.
For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
5 Awurade dɔ teneneeyɛ ne atɛntenenee. Nʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no ahyɛ asase so ma.
He loves mercy and judgement; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
6 Awurade asɛm so na wɔnam yɛɛ ɔsorosoro, nʼanom homeɛ so na wɔnam yɛɛ ɔsoro asafo.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
7 Ɔka ɛpo nsuo boa ano kuo; na ɔde ebunu siee deɛ ɛhɔ dɔ.
Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
8 Momma asase sofoɔ nyinaa nsuro Awurade; na ewiasefoɔ nyinaa mfa anidie mma no.
Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
9 Ɔno na ɔkasaeɛ na ɛbaa mu na ɔhyɛeɛ na ɛgyinaa pintinn.
For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
10 Awurade sɛe amanaman no nhyehyɛeɛ; ɔma adasamma nsusuiɛ yɛ kwa.
The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
11 Nanso, Awurade nhyehyɛeɛ tim hɔ daa, nʼakoma mu botaeɛ wɔ hɔ ma awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ.
But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Nhyira ne ɔman a ne Onyankopɔn ne Awurade, nnipa a ɔyii wɔn sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ no.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 Awurade hwɛ adasamma nyinaa firi soro.
The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14 Ɔfiri nʼatenaeɛ hwɛ wɔn a wɔte asase so nyinaa.
He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
15 Ɔno ne deɛ ɔbɔɔ wɔn nyinaa akoma, enti ɔnim deɛ wɔyɛ nyinaa.
who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
16 Ɛnyɛ ɔhene akodɔm kɛseɛ na ɛbɛgye no; ɛnyɛ ɔkofoɔ ahoɔden na ɛbɛma no afiri mu afi.
A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
17 Ɔpɔnkɔ mu ahotosoɔ yɛ kwa wɔ nkwagyeɛ mu; nʼahoɔden nyinaa akyi no, ɔrentumi nnye nkwa.
A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
18 Nanso Awurade ani wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no no so, wɔn a wɔwɔ anidasoɔ wɔ ne dɔ a ɛnsa da no mu,
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
19 sɛ ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri owuo mu na wama wɔatena nkwa mu wɔ ɛkɔm berɛ mu.
to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Yɛde anidasoɔ twɛn Awurade; ɔyɛ yɛn ɔboafoɔ ne yɛn akokyɛm.
Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
21 Ne mu na yɛn akoma di ahurisie, ɛfiri sɛ yɛde yɛn ho to ne din kronkron no so.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
22 Ma wʼadɔeɛ a ɛnsa da no ntena yɛn so, Ao Awurade, sɛdeɛ anidasoɔ a yɛwɔ wɔ mu no teɛ.
Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
