Nnwom 108
1 Dawid dwom. Ao Onyankopɔn, mʼakoma atɔ me yam; mede me kra nyinaa bɛto wʼayɛyie dwom.
[A Song. A Psalm by David.] My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
2 Monyane, sankuo ne bɛnta! Mɛnyane anɔpahema.
Wake up, harp and lyre. I will wake up the dawn.
3 Ao Awurade, mɛkamfo wo wɔ aman no mu; mɛto wo ho dwom wɔ nnipa no mu.
I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4 Wʼadɔeɛ so, ɛkorɔn sene ɔsoro; wo nokorɛdie duru ewiem.
For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5 Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wo so tra ɔsoro, na ama wʼanimuonyam aba asase nyinaa so.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
6 Fa wo nsa nifa gye yɛn na boa yɛn, na ama wɔn a wodɔ wɔn no anya nkwa.
That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
7 Onyankopɔn akasa afiri ne kronkronbea sɛ, “Nkonim mu na mɛkyɛ Sekem mu na masusu Sukot Bɔnhwa.
God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead yɛ me dea; Manase nso saa ara; Efraim yɛ me dadeɛ kyɛ, Yuda yɛ mʼahempoma.
Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
9 Moab yɛ me dwaresɛn, Edom so na meto me mpaboa guo; Filistia so na mebɔ ose.”
Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
10 Hwan na ɔde me bɛkɔ kuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu? Hwan na ɔbɛdi mʼanim akɔ Edom?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
11 Ao Onyankopɔn, ɛnyɛ wo na woapo yɛn? Wo ne yɛn nsraadɔm renkɔ ɔsa bio anaa?
Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.
12 Boa yɛn tia ɔtamfoɔ no, na ɔdasani mmoa nka hwee.
Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
13 Onyankopɔn wɔ yɛn afa yi, yɛbɛdi nkonim, na ɔbɛtiatia yɛn atamfoɔ so.
Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.
