Awurade nsɛm yɛ nokware na ne nnwuma biara nni huammɔ. Awurade dɔ nea ɛyɛ trenee na ɛyɛ pɛ. Ne dɔ hyɛ asase so ma daa. Awurade nam ne tumi so na ɔbɔɔ soro, owia, ɔsram ne nsoromma a efi n’anom asɛm so. Ɔboaa ɛpo nyinaa ano koguu faako. Ɔtoo ɛpo hahanaa no mu wɔ n’akorae. Asase sofo nyinaa, munsuro Awurade! Wiasefo nyinaa, monhyɛ no anuonyam. Ɔkasae na wɔbɔɔ asase; na ne tumi mu na biribiara bae. 10 Awurade maa amanaman nsusuwii kae. Wamma wɔanyɛ wɔn nhyehyɛe. 11 Nanso, ɔno de, ne nhyehyɛe wɔ hɔ daa. Ne botae wɔ hɔ daa nyinaa.

18 Awurade hwɛ wɔn a wotie no ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to ne dɔ no so daa. 19 Ogye wɔn fi owu mu. Ɔkɔm kɛse mu, ɔhwɛ wɔn. 20 Yɛn ani da Awurade so. Ɔyɛ yɛn guankɔbea ne yɛn boafo. 21 Ne nti, yɛn ani agye. Yegye ne din kronkron no di. 22 Ma wo dɔ a wodɔ yɛn daa no nka yɛn ho, Awurade, wɔ bere a yɛde yɛn ho to wo so yi.

Psalm 33

Sing joyfully(A) to the Lord, you righteous;
    it is fitting(B) for the upright(C) to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;(D)
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.(E)
Sing to him a new song;(F)
    play skillfully, and shout for joy.(G)

For the word of the Lord is right(H) and true;(I)
    he is faithful(J) in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;(K)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.(L)

By the word(M) of the Lord the heavens were made,(N)
    their starry host(O) by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters(P) of the sea into jars[a];(Q)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;(R)
    let all the people of the world(S) revere him.(T)
For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,(U) and it stood firm.

10 The Lord foils(V) the plans(W) of the nations;(X)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm(Y) forever,
    the purposes(Z) of his heart through all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,(AA)
    the people he chose(AB) for his inheritance.(AC)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down(AD)
    and sees all mankind;(AE)
14 from his dwelling place(AF) he watches
    all who live on earth—
15 he who forms(AG) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.(AH)

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse(AJ) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes(AK) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(AL)
19 to deliver them from death(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.(AN)

20 We wait(AO) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,(AP)
    for we trust in his holy name.(AQ)
22 May your unfailing love(AR) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.
