Nnwom 92

1 Dwom a wɔto no Homeda. Eye sɛ wɔkamfo wo Awurade na wɔto dwom de hyɛ wo anuonyam, Ɔsorosoroni,

[A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.] It is a good thing to give thanks to Jehovah, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

2 na wɔpae mu ka wʼadɔe anɔpa ne wo nokware anadwo,

to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

3 wɔ hama du sanku so ne sankuten nnwom mu.

with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

4 Awurade, wo nneyɛe ma mʼani gye; mede anigye to nnwom, wo nsa ano nnwuma nti.

For you, Jehovah, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

5 Awurade, wo nnwuma yɛ akɛse, na wo nyansa mu dɔ!

How great are your works, Jehovah. Your thoughts are very deep.

6 Agyimifo nnim na nkwaseafo nte ase,

A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:

7 amumɔyɛfo benyin sɛ sare na abɔnefo bɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm de, nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

8 Na wo Awurade, wɔayɛ wo ɔkɛse afebɔɔ.

But you, Jehovah, are on high forevermore.

9 Awurade, ampa ara, wʼatamfo bɛyera; na wɔbɛhwete abɔnefo nyinaa.

For, look, your enemies, Jehovah, for, look, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

10 Woama me ahoɔden te sɛ ɛko; woahwie ngohuam papa agu me so.

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mahu mʼatamfo nkogu a wɔadi, mate sɛnea mʼatamfo atirimɔdenfo aguan afi akono.

My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

12 Atreneefo bɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ abedua, wobenyin sɛ Lebanon sida;

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 nea wɔadua wɔ Awurade fi, wobenyin frɔmfrɔm wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn adiwo hɔ.

They are planted in Jehovah's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

14 Wɔbɛkɔ so asow aba, onyinkyɛ mu mpo, wɔbɛyɛ frɔmfrɔm sɛ ahabammono,

They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

15 de akyerɛ sɛ, “Awurade yɛ ɔtreneeni; ɔyɛ me botan, na atirimɔdensɛm biara nni ne mu.”

to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
