Psalms 97
1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
Awurade di hene, ma asase ani nnye; ma akyirikyiri mpoano ahorow no nsɛpɛw wɔn ho.
2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
Omununkum ne sum kabii atwa no ho ahyia; trenee ne atɛntrenee yɛ nʼahengua no fapem.
3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
Ogya di nʼanim na ɛhyew nʼatamfo wɔ afanan nyinaa.
4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
Nʼanyinam hyerɛn wiase; asase hu na ne ho popo.
5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
Mmepɔw nan sɛ nku wɔ Awurade anim, Awurade a asase nyinaa wɔ no no anim.
6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
Ɔsoro pae mu ka ne trenee kyerɛ na aman nyinaa hu nʼanuonyam.
7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
Ahonisomfo nyinaa anim agu ase, wɔn a wɔde abosomhuhuw hoahoa wɔn ho no, anyame nyinaa monsɔre no.
8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
Sion te, na ne ho sɛpɛw no na Yuda nkuraa ani gye Awurade, esiane wʼatɛntrenee nti.
9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
Wo, Awurade ne Ɔsorosoroni wɔ asase so nyinaa; wɔama wo so pa ara wɔ anyame nyinaa mu.
10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
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 shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
Hann hyerɛn wɔ atreneefo so na anigye ba wɔn a wɔn koma mu tew no so.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Momma mo ani nnye Awurade mu, mo a moyɛ atreneefo, na monkamfo ne din kronkron no.
