Psalms 103

1 By David. Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

Dawid deɛ. Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade; na me mu adeɛ nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no.

2 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,

Ao me kra, kamfo Awurade, na mma wo werɛ mfiri ne nneyɛeɛ pa nyinaa,

3 who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases,

ɔno na ɔde wo mfomsoɔ nyinaa kyɛ woɔ na ɔsa wo nyarewa nyinaa,

4 who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

ɔgye wo nkwa firi damena mu na ɔde adɔeɛ ne mmɔborɔhunu bɔ wo abotire,

5 who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

ɔde nnepa ma wo sɛ wʼapɛdeɛ na wo mmeranteberɛ yɛ foforɔ sɛ ɔkɔdeɛ.

6 Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

Awurade yɛ adetenenee na ɔbu wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so nyinaa atɛntenenee.

7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the children of Israel.

Ɔkyerɛɛ Mose nʼakwan, na ɔmaa Israelfoɔ hunuu ne nneyɛɛ.

8 Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

Mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ ne Awurade, ne bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso.

9 He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

Ɔrenkɔ so mmɔ soboɔ, na ɔrennya yɛn ho menasepɔ nkɔsi daa;

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

Ɔrenhwɛ yɛn bɔne ne yɛn nni sɛdeɛ ɛfata na ɔrentua yɛn nnebɔne so ka sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.

Na sɛdeɛ ɔsoro ne asase ntam ware no, saa ara na nʼadɔeɛ so wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Sɛdeɛ apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ ntam ware no, saa ara na wama yɛn ne yɛn mmarato ntam kwan aware.

13 Like a father has compassion on his children, so Yahweh has compassion on those who fear him.

Sɛdeɛ agya yam hyehye no ne mma ho no, saa ara na Awurade yam hyehye no ma wɔn a wɔsuro no,

14 For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.

na ɔnim sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ yɛn, ɔkae sɛ yɛyɛ mfuturo.

15 As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

Ɔdasani deɛ, ne nna te sɛ ɛserɛ, ɔyɛ frɔmm sɛ wiram nhwiren;

16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.

sɛ mframa bɔ fa ne so a, na ɔnni hɔ, na ne sibea nnim no bio.

17 But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

Nanso ɛfiri mmerɛsanten kɔsi nnasanten Awurade adɔeɛ wɔ wɔn a wɔsuro no so, na ne tenenee wɔ wɔn mma mma so,

18 to those who keep his covenant, to those who remember to obey his precepts.

wɔn a wɔdi nʼapam no so na wɔkae di ne mmara so.

19 Yahweh has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.

Awurade asi nʼahennwa wɔ soro, na nʼahennie di adeɛ nyinaa so.

20 Praise Yahweh, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word, obeying the voice of his word.

Monkamfo Awurade, mo a moyɛ nʼabɔfoɔ, mo atumfoɔ a moyɛ nʼahyɛdeɛ, mo a motie nʼasɛm.

21 Praise Yahweh, all you armies of his, you servants of his, who do his pleasure.

Monkamfo Awurade, ɔsoro asafo nyinaa, nʼasomfoɔ a moyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ.

22 Praise Yahweh, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion. Praise Yahweh, my soul!

Monkamfo Awurade, ne nnwuma nyinaa deɛ ɛwɔ nʼaheman mu nyinaa. Ao me ɔkra, kamfo Awurade!
