Nnwom 46

1 Kora mma dwom. Wɔto no “alamot” sankuo nne so. Onyankopɔn ne yɛn dwanekɔbea ne yɛn ahoɔden, amanehunu mu ɔboafoɔ a ɔwɔ hɔ ɛberɛ biara.

For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Enti sɛ asase ani dane butu na mmepɔ tutu kɔgu ɛpo ase a, yɛrensuro,

So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.

3 sɛ ɛpo bɔ asorɔkye na ɛhuru na ɛma nkokoɔ woso mpo a, yɛrensuro.

Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)

4 Asutene bi wɔ hɔ a ne nsuwansuwa de anigyeɛ ba Onyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, beaeɛ kronkron a Ɔsorosoroni no teɛ.

A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.

5 Onyankopɔn te kuropɔn no mu, na ɔrenhwe ase; Onyankopɔn bɛboa no anɔpahema.

God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.

6 Amanaman yɛ hoo, na ahennie hwehwe ase; ɔma ne nne so ma asase nane.

Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.

7 Otumfoɔ Awurade ka yɛn ho. Yakob Onyankopɔn yɛ yɛn aban.

On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.

8 Bra bɛhwɛ Awurade nnwuma, ɔsɛeɛ a ɔde aba asase no so.

Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.

9 Ɔma akodie gyae kɔsi asase ano. Ɔbubu agyan mu na ɔsɛe pea; ɔde ogya hye nkataboɔ.

He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.

10 Monyɛ komm na monhunu sɛ me ne Onyankopɔn; wɔbɛma me so wɔ amanaman no mu, wɔbɛma me so wɔ asase so.

‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’

11 Otumfoɔ Awurade ka yɛn ho; Yakob Onyankopɔn yɛ yɛn aban. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.

On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
