making known to all his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.
13 Wʼahennie yɛ daa ahennie, na wo tumidie wɔ hɔ ma awoɔ ntoantoasoɔ nyinaa. Awurade di ne bɔhyɛ nyinaa so, na ɔwɔ ɔdɔ ma biribiara a wayɛ.
Yours is a kingdom that lives through all ages: through all generations extends your dominion.
14 Awurade wowa wɔn a wɔhwe ase na ɔpagya wɔn a wɔn nnesoa ama wɔakom.

18 Awurade bɛn wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nyinaa, wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nokorɛ mu nyinaa.
The Lord is near to all who call him, to all who call upon him in truth.
19 Ɔyɛ wɔn a wɔsuro no no apɛdeɛ ma wɔn; ɔtie wɔn sufrɛ na ɔgye wɔn.
He will fulfil the desires of those who fear him; he will hear their cry for help and save them.
20 Awurade hwɛ wɔn a wɔdɔ no nyinaa so, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ, ɔbɛsɛe wɔn nyinaa.
