A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath. The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.
2 Kuropɔn no ɔsorokɔ yɛ fɛ, ɛyɛ ewiase nyinaa anigyedeɛ. Bepɔ Sion te sɛ Safon sorɔnsorɔmmea, Ɔhene Kɛseɛ no kuropɔn.
Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.
3 Onyankopɔn te nʼabankɛsewa mu. Wada ne ho adi sɛ ɔyɛ nʼaban.
In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.
4 Ɛberɛ a ahemfo yi boaa wɔn ho ano, na wɔtuu ɔsa bɔɔ mu no,
For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.
5 wɔhunuu no ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn ahodwirie, na wɔde ehu dwaneeɛ.
Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.
6 Nketenkete kyeree wɔn wɔ hɔ, ɔyea a ɛte sɛ ɔbaa a awoɔ aka no.
Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.
7 Wosɛee wɔn sɛ Tarsis ahyɛn a apueeɛ mframa abɔ adwira wɔn.
With a vehement spirit, you will crush 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 has founded it in eternity.
9 Wʼasɔredan no mu, Ao Onyankopɔn, na yɛdwene wo dɔ a ɛnsa da no ho,
We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.
10 Ao Onyankopɔn, wʼayɛyie duru asase ano te sɛ wo din; tenenee ayɛ wo nsa nifa mu ma.
According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
11 Sion bepɔ di ahurisie, Yuda nkuraase no ani gye ɛsiane wʼatemmuo no enti.
Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
12 Nante Sion na twa ho hyia, kan nʼabantenten dodoɔ,
Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
13 dwene nʼafasuo ho yie, hwɛ nʼabankɛsewa no, na woaka ho asɛm akyerɛ nkyirimma.
Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
14 Saa Onyankopɔn yi yɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn daa daa; mpo ɔbɛyɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfoɔ akɔsi awieeɛ.
For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
