1 Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnto no “gittit” sankuo nne so. Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din kɛseyɛ ada adi ewiase afanan nyinaa. Wode wʼanimuonyam atimtim ɔsoro nohoa,

To the ouercomere, for pressours, the salm of Dauid. Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid, aboue heuenes.

2 mmɔfra ne nkɔkoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo, wʼatamfoɔ nti; na wode bɔ atamfoɔ ne weretɔfoɔ ano.

Of the mouth of yonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist perfitli heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the enemy and avengere.

3 Sɛ mehwɛ wo soro, wo nsateaa ano adwuma; ɔsrane ne nsoromma a wode obiara asi nʼafa a,

For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris, whiche thou hast foundid.

4 onipa ne hwan a wokae no, na onipa ba nso ne hwan a wʼani ku ne ho?

6 Woyɛɛ no sodifoɔ maa wo nsa ano adwuma wode nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ ne nan ase:

and hast ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis.

7 nnwankuo ne nantwikuo nyinaa ne wiram mmoa nso,

Thou hast maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet; alle scheep and oxis, ferthermore and the beestis of the feeld;

8 ewiem nnomaa ne ɛpo mu mpataa, deɛ ɛnenam ɛpo mu akwan so nyinaa.

the briddis of the eir, and the fischis of the see; that passen bi the pathis of the see.

9 Ao, Awurade, yɛn Awurade, wo din yɛ kɛseɛ wɔ asase nyinaa so!

Lord, `thou art oure Lord; thi name `is wondurful in al erthe.
