1 Salomo dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, fa wʼatɛntenenee ma ɔhene no, na fa wo tenenee ma ɔhene babarima.
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son.
2 Ɔde tenenee bɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ atɛn, ɔbɛbu wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔrehunu amane no atɛntenenee.
He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice.
3 Mmepɔ no de yiedie bɛbrɛ nnipa no, nkokoɔ no de tenenee bɛba.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness.
4 Ɔbɛko ama nnipa no mu amanehunufoɔ na woagye wɔn a wɔnni bie mma nkwa; ɔbɛdwerɛ nhyɛsofoɔ.
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the sons of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Owia ne ɔsrane da so wɔ hɔ yi wɔbɛsuro wo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.
They shall fear thee while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Ɔbɛyɛ sɛ osuo a ɛtɔ gu asase a wɔadɔ soɔ so, te sɛ obosuo a ɛgugu asase so.
He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Teneneefoɔ bɛnyini frɔmfrɔm wɔ ne berɛ so; yiedie bɛbu so kɔsi da a ɔsrane nni hɔ bio.
In his days righteousness shall flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon is no more.
8 Ɔbɛdi ɔhene afiri ɛpo akɔsi ɛpo afiri Asubɔnten Efrata akɔsi asase ano.
He shall also have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Ɛserɛ so mmusua bɛkoto nʼanim na nʼatamfoɔ adi mfuturo.
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Tarsis ne mpoano ahemfo a wɔwɔ akyirikyiri de apeatoɔ bɛbrɛ no; Saba ne Seba ahemfo de ayɛyɛdeɛ bɛbrɛ no.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Ahemfo nyinaa bɛkoto no amanaman nyinaa bɛsom no.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.
12 Na ɔbɛgye mmɔborɔfoɔ a wɔsu frɛ no, ne amanehunufoɔ a wɔnni ɔboafoɔ.
For he will deliver a needy man when he cries, and a poor man, who has no helper.
13 Ɔbɛhunu wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ ne ahiafoɔ mmɔbɔ na wagye ahiafoɔ nkwa.
He will have pity on a poor and needy man, and he will save the souls of the needy.
14 Ɔbɛgye wɔn afiri nhyɛsoɔ ne akakabensɛm mu, ɛfiri sɛ wɔn mogya som bo wɔ nʼanim.
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. And their blood will be precious in his sight,
15 Ɔhene nkwa so! Ma wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ mfiri Seba mmrɛ no. Ma nnipa mmɔ mpaeɛ mma no na wɔnhyira no da mu nyinaa.
and they shall live. And to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. And men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all the day long.
16 Aburoo mmu so wɔ asase no so nyinaa; nnuane mmu so wɔ nkokoɔ so, ma nʼaba mmɔ sɛ Lebanon; na ɛnyini sɛ mfuo so serɛ.
There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon. And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 Ne din bɛtena hɔ daa; ɛntena hɔ nkyɛre sɛ owia. Wɔbɛfa ne so ahyira amanaman no, na wɔbɛfrɛ no nhyira.
His name shall endure forever. His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed.
18 Nhyira nka Awurade Onyankopɔn, Israel Onyankopɔn! Ɔno nko ara na ɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ.
Blessed be Jehovah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
19 Nhyira nka ne din a animuonyam ahyɛ no ma no daa daa. Ma nʼanimuonyam nhyɛ ewiase nyinaa ma.
And blessed be his glorious name forever. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly, and Truly.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
