Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,

Monkamfo Awurade. Monkamfo Awurade din; monkamfo no, mo Awurade asomfoɔ,

2 who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

mo a mosom wɔ Awurade fie, wɔ adihɔ a ɛwɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn fie.

3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: Sing praise to his name it is pleasant.

Monkamfo Awurade ɛfiri sɛ ɔyɛ; monto ayɛyie dwom mma ne din, na ɛno na ɛyɛ anisɔ.

4 The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.

Awurade ayi Yakob sɛ ɔnyɛ ne deɛ, wayi Israel sɛ nʼadeɛ a ɛsom bo.

5 For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

Menim sɛ Awurade so; Ɔso sene anyame nyinaa.

6 All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.

Awurade yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ biara, wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, ɛpo ne emu abunu nyinaa.

7 Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.

Ɔma omununkum ma ne ho so firi asase ano ba; ɔsoma anyinam ka osutɔ ho na ɔma ahum tu firi nʼakoradan mu.

8 The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.

Ɔkumm Misraim mmakan, nnipa ne mmoa mmakan.

9 Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

Ɔsomaa ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne nʼanwanwadeɛ baa mo mfimfini, Ao Misraim, de tiaa Farao ne nʼasomfoɔ nyinaa.

10 Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew

Ɔsɛee amanaman pii na ɔkunkumm ahemfo akɛseɛ,

11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

Amorifoɔ ɔhene, Sihon Basan ɔhene, Og ne Kanaan ahemfo nyinaa,

12 He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.

na ɔde wɔn nsase maa sɛ agyapadeɛ; ɔde maa ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ.

13 Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.

Ao Awurade, wo din wɔ hɔ daa. Ao Awurade wo din ahyeta awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.

14 For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.

Awurade bɛdi ama ne nkurɔfoɔ na ɔbɛhunu nʼasomfoɔ mmɔbɔ.

15 The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.

Amanaman no ahoni yɛ dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde onipa nsa na ayɛ.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.

Wɔwɔ ano, nanso wɔntumi nkasa, wɔwɔ ani, nanso wɔnhunu adeɛ;

17 They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.

wɔwɔ aso, nanso wɔnte asɛm, na ahomeɛ nso nni wɔn anom.

18 Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.

Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ ahoni no bɛyɛ sɛ wɔn ara, saa ara na wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to wɔn so no bɛyɛ.

19 House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.

Monkamfo Awurade, Ao Israel fiefoɔ; monkamfo Awurade, Ao Aaron fiefoɔ;

20 House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

monkamfo Awurade, Ao Lewi fiefoɔ; monkamfo Awurade, mo a mosuro no.

21 Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

Momfiri Sion nkamfo Awurade, monkamfo deɛ ɔte Yerusalem no. Monkamfo Awurade.
