Dwom 112
1Monkamfo Awurade.
Nhyira nka onipa a osuro Awurade
na onya nʼahyɛde mu anigye pii.
2Ne mma bɛyɛ atumfo wɔ asase no so;
atreneefo awo ntoatoaso benya nhyira.
3Ahonya ne sika wɔ ne fi,
na ne trenee tena hɔ daa.
4Sum mu mpo hann pue ma nnipa a wɔteɛ,
ma ɔdomfo, mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔnokwafo.
5Yiyedi bɛba wɔn a wɔn tirim yɛ mmerɛw na wɔde fɛm kwa,
wɔn a wɔde atɛntrenee yɛ wɔn nneɛma no so.
6Ampa ara ɔrenhinhim da biara da;
wɔbɛkae onipa trenee daa.
7Ɔte asɛmmɔne a, ɛmmɔ no hu;
ne koma si pi wɔ Awurade mu ahotoso mu.
8Ne koma wɔ bammɔ, na onsuro;
awiei no ɔde nkonimdi behyia nʼatamfo.
9Ɔtow nʼakyɛde pete aman so ma ahiafo nea wohia,
nʼadɔe no tena hɔ daa;
wɔbɛkae wɔn daa na wɔahyɛ wɔn anuonyam.
10Omumɔyɛfo behu ama ayɛ no yaw,
ɔbɛtwɛre ne se na wafɔn;
omumɔyɛfo tirimpɔw bɛyɛ ɔkwa.
Psalm 112This psalm is an acrostic poem, the lines of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
1Praise the Lord.112:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah
Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
who find great delight in his commands.
2Their children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3Wealth and riches are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures for ever.
4Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.
6Surely the righteous will never be shaken;
they will be remembered for ever.
7They will have no fear of bad news;
their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;
in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.
9They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,
their righteousness endures for ever;
their horn112:9 Horn here symbolises dignity. will be lifted high in honour.
10The wicked will see and be vexed,
they will gnash their teeth and waste away;
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.
