Nnwom 48
1 Kora mma dwom. Awurade yɛ kɛseɛ na ɔsɛ nkamfo wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn kuropɔn mu, ne bepɔ kronkron so.
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2 Kuropɔn no ɔsorokɔ yɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ ewiase nyinaa anigyedeɛ. Bepɔ Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhene Kɛseɛ no kuropɔn.
Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
3 Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛsewa mu. Wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼaban.
God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
4 Ɛberɛ a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wɔtuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,
For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
5 wɔhunuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwirie, na wɔde ehu dwaneeɛ.
They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Nketenkete kyeree wɔn wɔ hɔ, ɔyea a ɛte sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no.
Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
7 Wosɛee wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apueeɛ mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.
With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
8 Sɛdeɛ yɛate no, saa ara na yɛahunu wɔ Otumfoɔ Awurade kuropɔn no mu, yɛn Onyankopɔn kuropɔn mu; Onyankopɔn ma ɛtim hɔ afebɔɔ.
As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.
9 Wʼasɔredan no mu, Ao Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no ho,
Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
10 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼayɛyie duru asase ano te sɛ wo din; tenenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.
Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Sion bepɔ di ahurisie, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye ɛsiane wʼatemmuo no enti.
Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
12 Nante Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodoɔ,
March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
13 dwene nʼafasuo ho yie, hwɛ nʼabankɛsewa no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.
consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
14 Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn daa daa; mpo ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfoɔ akɔsi awieeɛ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
