Nnwom 84
1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no wɔ gittit sankuo nne so. Kora mma dwom. Ao Asafo Awurade, wʼatenaeɛ hɔ yɛ ahomeka!
To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
2 Me kra pere, mpo ɛtɔ piti, sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Awurade adihɔ; mʼakoma ne me honam team frɛ Onyankopɔn ɔteasefoɔ.
My soul longeth, and, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Mpo akasanoma anya fie, na asomfena nso anwono ne pirebuo, baabi a ɔbɛhwane ne mma wɔ beaeɛ bi a ɛbɛn wʼafɔrebukyia, Ao Asafo Awurade, me Ɔhene ne me Onyankopɔn.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thy altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔte wo fie; na wɔkamfo wo din daa.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. (Selah)
5 Nhyira nka wɔn a wɔwɔ wo mu ahoɔden, na wɔde wɔn akoma hyɛ akwantuo ase kɔhwehwɛ wo.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Sɛ wɔfa Baka Bɔnhwa no mu a, wɔma hɔ yɛ nsuwansuwa; osutɔberɛ nsuo nso de nhyira pii kata asase no so.
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 Wɔkɔ no ahoɔden so berɛ nyinaa, kɔsi sɛ wɔn mu biara bɛpue Onyankopɔn anim wɔ Sion.
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 Ao Asafo Awurade, Onyankopɔn tie me mpaeɛbɔ; Ao Yakob Onyankopɔn, yɛ aso ma me.
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Ao Onyankopɔn, hwɛ yɛn akokyɛm; fa ahummɔborɔ hwɛ deɛ woasra no ngo no.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thy anointed.
10 Wʼadihɔ hɔ da korɔ tena yɛ sene nnafua apem wɔ baabi foforɔ; mepɛ sɛ mɛyɛ ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn fie sene sɛ mɛtena amumuyɛfoɔ ntomadan mu.
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade Onyankopɔn yɛ owia ne ɛkyɛm; Awurade hunu mmɔbɔ na ɔhyɛ animuonyam; ɔremfa ade pa biara nkame wɔn a wɔteneɛ.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 Ao Asafo Awurade, nhyira nka onipa a ɔde ne ho to wo so.
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
