Nnwom 8

1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “gittit” sankuo nne so. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din kɛseyɛ ada adi ewiase afanan nyinaa. Wode wʼanimuonyam atimtim ɔsoro nohoa,

For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens!

2 mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo, wʼatamfoɔ nti; na wode bɔ atamfoɔ ne weretɔfoɔ ano.

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 Sɛ mehwɛ wo soro, wo nsateaa ano adwuma; ɔsrane ne nsoromma a wode obiara asi nʼafa a,

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained,

4 onipa ne hwan a wokae no, na onipa ba nso ne hwan a wʼani ku ne ho?

what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him?

5 Wobɔɔ no ma ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sene abɔfoɔ na wode wʼanimuonyam ne anidie abɔ no abotire.

For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Woyɛɛ no sodifoɔ maa wo nsa ano adwuma wode nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ ne nan ase:

You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

7 nnwankuo ne nantwikuo nyinaa ne wiram mmoa nso,

All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field,

8 ewiem nnomaa ne ɛpo mu mpataa, deɛ ɛnenam ɛpo mu akwan so nyinaa.

the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9 Ao, Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din yɛ kɛseɛ wɔ asase nyinaa so!

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
