Psalms 97

1 Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.

2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

Omununkum ne sum kabii atwa no ho ahyia; trenee ne atɛntrenee yɛ nʼahengua no fapem.

3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.

Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhyew nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa.

4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

Nʼanyinam hyerɛn wiase; asase hu na ne ho popo.

5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.

7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!

Ahonisomfo nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuw hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.

8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, Yahweh.

Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.

9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.

Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.

10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ Awurade no nkyi bɔne, ɔbɔ ne nkurɔfo a wɔyɛ nokwafo no ho ban na ogye wɔn fi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Hann hyerɛn wɔ atreneefo so na anigye ba wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew no so.

12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
