For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.
11 Wode yɛn kɔguu nneduadan mu na wode nneɛma a ɛyɛ duru too yɛn akyi.
You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back.

You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment.

I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,

15 Mede mmoa a wɔadɔ sradeɛ bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama wo nnwennini ayɛyɛdeɛ; mede anantwinini ne mpapo bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ.
I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.
16 Mommra mmɛtie, mo a mosuro Onyankopɔn nyinaa; momma menka deɛ wayɛ ama me nkyerɛ mo.
Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.
17 Mede mʼano su frɛɛ no; na me tɛkrɛma yii no ayɛ.
I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.
18 Sɛ mede bɔne hyɛɛ mʼakomam a, anka Awurade antie me.
If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.

And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Nhyira nka Onyankopɔn, a wampo me mpaeɛbɔ na wanyi nʼadɔeɛ amfiri me so.
Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.
