Dwom 111
1Monkamfo Awurade!
Mefi me koma nyinaa mu ama Awurade so
wɔ atreneefo aguabɔ ne asafo no mu.
2Awurade nnwuma yɛ akɛse;
wɔn a wɔn ani gye ho nyinaa susuw ho.
3Ne nnwuma yɛ tumi ne anuonyam,
na ne trenee wɔ hɔ daa.
4Ɔma yɛkae nʼanwonwade;
Awurade yɛ ɔdomfo ne mmɔborɔhunufo.
5Ɔma wɔn a wosuro no no aduan;
ɔkae nʼapam no daa.
6Wakyerɛ ne nkurɔfo tumi a ɛwɔ ne nnwuma mu,
sɛ ɔde aman afoforo nsase ama wɔn.
7Ne nsa ano nnwuma yɛ nokware na ɛteɛ;
nʼahyɛde nyinaa mu wɔ ahotoso.
8Etim hɔ daa daa,
nokware ne trenee mu na ɔyɛe.
9Ɔde ogye maa ne nkurɔfo;
ɔde nʼapam sii hɔ afebɔɔ,
ne din yɛ kronkron na ɛyɛ hu.
10Awurade suro yɛ nyansa mfiase;
wɔn a wodi nʼahyɛde so nyinaa wɔ nhumu pa.
Ɔno na daa ayeyi wɔ no.

1Praise the Lord.111:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah
I will extol the Lord with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.
2Great are the works of the Lord;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.
3Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures for ever.
4He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
5He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant for ever.
6He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
7The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
8They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
9He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant for ever –
holy and awesome is his name.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
