Nnwom 87

1 Kora mma dwom. Awurade ato ne fapem wɔ bepɔ kronkron no so;

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

2 Awurade dɔ Sion apono no sene Yakob atenaeɛ nyinaa.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Wɔka wo ho animuonyamsɛm Ao Onyankopɔn kuropɔn:

Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

4 “Mede Rahab ne Babilonia bɛka wɔn a wɔyɛ ɔsetie ma me no ho, Filistia, Tiro ne Kus nso mɛka sɛ, ‘Wɔwoo yeinom wɔ Sion.’”

“Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

5 Ampa ara wɔbɛka wɔ Sion ho sɛ, “Wɔwoo yei ne ɔno wɔ ne mu, na Ɔsorosoroni no ankasa de no bɛtim hɔ.”

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.” The Lord will preserve her.

6 Awurade bɛtwerɛ wɔ nnipa dintwerɛ nwoma no mu sɛ, “Wɔwoo yei wɔ Sion.”

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, “This one was born there, and that one was born there.” (Selah)

7 Na wɔbɛto dwom sɛ, “Me nhini nyinaa wɔ wo mu.” Kora mma dwom a wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “Mahalat Leannot” sankuo so.

Singers and dancers alike will say “All my springs are in you.”
