Nnwom 96

1 Monto dwom foforɔ mma Awurade; asase nyinaa monto dwom mma Awurade.

When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Monto dwom mma Awurade, na monkamfo ne din; mompae mu nka ne nkwagyeɛ no daa daa.

Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3 Monka nʼanimuonyam wɔ amanaman mu, monka nʼanwanwadeɛ a wayɛ wɔ nnipa mu.

Publish his glory amongst the Gentiles, his wonderful works amongst all people.

4 Awurade yɛ kɛseɛ na ɔfata ayɛyie; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro no sene anyame nyinaa.

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.

5 Anyame a wɔwɔ aman foforɔ so yɛ ahoni bi kwa, nanso Awurade na ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro.

For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Animuonyam ne kɛseyɛ wɔ nʼanim; ahoɔden ne animuonyam wɔ ne kronkronbea hɔ.

Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

7 Momfa mma Awurade, Ao amanaman mmusuakuo, momfa animuonyam ne tumi mma Awurade.

Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.

8 Momfa animuonyam ne din a ɛfata mma Awurade; momfa afɔrebɔdeɛ nhyɛne nʼadihɔ hɔ.

Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

9 Monsɔre Awurade wɔ ne kronkronyɛ fɛfɛ mu; asase nyinaa momma mo ho mpopo wɔ nʼanim.

Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

10 Monka nkyerɛ aman nyinaa sɛ, “Awurade di ɔhene.” Wɔabɔ asase atim hɔ pintinn na ɛnhinhim; ɔde pɛpɛyɛ bɛbu nnipa atɛn.

Say amongst the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

11 Momma ɔsorosoro ani nnye, na asase nni ahurisie; momma ɛpo ne emu nneɛma nyinaa nworo;

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

12 momma mfuo ne so nneɛma nyinaa mmɔ ose. Nnua a ɛwɔ kwaeɛm de ahosɛpɛ bɛto dwom;

The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

13 wɔbɛto dwom wɔ Awurade anim, ɛfiri sɛ ɔreba, ɔreba abɛbu asase no atɛn. Ɔde tenenee bɛbu ewiase atɛn na woabu nnipa nso atɛn wɔ ne nokorɛ mu.

for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
