145 Mɛpae mu maka wo kɛseyɛ, me Nyankopɔn ne me hene; mɛda wo ase daa nyinaa. Da biara, mɛda wo ase; mɛkamfo wo daa nyinaa.

Awurade yɛ kɛse na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkamfo no. Ne kɛseyɛ boro adwene so. Wɔbɛkamfo nea woayɛ fi nkyirimma so kosi nkyirimma so; wɔbɛka wo nnwuma akɛse no. Wɔbɛka w’anuonyam ne wo tumi ho asɛm, na medwen w’anwonwadwuma no ho. Nnipa bɛka wo nnwuma akɛse ho asɛm; na mɛda wo kɛseyɛ adi. Wɔbɛka wo papayɛ ho asɛm; na wɔato w’ayamye nso ho dwom.

Awurade yɛ ɔdɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufo; ne bo kyɛ fuw na n’adɔe dɔɔso. Oye ma obiara na ɔwɔ ahummɔbɔ ma n’abɔde. 10 Awurade, w’abɔde nyinaa bɛkamfo wo; na wo nkurɔfo nyinaa bɛda wo ase. 11 Wɔbɛka anuonyam a ɛwɔ w’adehye tumi no ho asɛm na wɔaka wo tumi no ho asɛm nso, 12 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara behu wo nnwuma akɛse no ne w’ahemman a, anuonyam ne tumi wɔ mu no. 13 W’ahenni to rentwa da, na woyɛ ɔhene daa daa. Awurade hyɛ bɔ a, odi so, na biribiara a ɔyɛ, yɛ pɛ.

14 Ɔboa wɔn a wɔwɔ ɔhaw mu. Ɔpagyaw wɔn a wɔahwe ase. 15 Ani nyinaa hwɛ wo kwan na woma wɔn aduan wɔ ne bere mu. 16 Woma wɔn dodow, na nea ehia obiara no, wode ma no.

17 Awurade yɛ trenee wɔ nea ɔyɛ biara mu; ohu mmɔbɔ wɔ ne nneyɛe mu. 18 Ɔbɛn wɔn a wɔfrɛ no no, wɔn a wɔfrɛ no nokware mu no. 19 Wɔn a wodii no ni no, ɔma wɔn nea ehia wɔn; otie wɔn sufrɛ gye wɔn. 20 Ɔbɔ obiara a ɔdɔ no no ho ban na ɔbɛsɛe amumɔyɛfo.

21 Mɛkamfo Awurade daa; ma abɔde nyinaa nkamfo ne din kronkron no daa daa.

Psalm 145[a]

A psalm of praise. Of David.

I will exalt you,(A) my God the King;(B)
    I will praise your name(C) for ever and ever.
Every day I will praise(D) you
    and extol your name(E) for ever and ever.

Great(F) is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(G)
    his greatness no one can fathom.(H)
One generation(I) commends your works to another;
    they tell(J) of your mighty acts.(K)
They speak of the glorious splendor(L) of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b](M)
They tell(N) of the power of your awesome works—(O)
    and I will proclaim(P) your great deeds.(Q)
They celebrate your abundant goodness(R)
    and joyfully sing(S) of your righteousness.(T)

The Lord is gracious and compassionate,(U)
    slow to anger and rich in love.(V)

The Lord is good(W) to all;
    he has compassion(X) on all he has made.
10 All your works praise you,(Y) Lord;
    your faithful people extol(Z) you.(AA)
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom(AB)
    and speak of your might,(AC)
12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts(AD)
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.(AE)
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,(AF)
    and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy(AG) in all he promises(AH)
    and faithful in all he does.[c]
14 The Lord upholds(AI) all who fall
    and lifts up all(AJ) who are bowed down.(AK)
15 The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food(AL) at the proper time.
16 You open your hand
    and satisfy the desires(AM) of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous(AN) in all his ways
    and faithful in all he does.(AO)
18 The Lord is near(AP) to all who call on him,(AQ)
    to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires(AR) of those who fear him;(AS)
    he hears their cry(AT) and saves them.(AU)
20 The Lord watches over(AV) all who love him,(AW)
    but all the wicked he will destroy.(AX)

21 My mouth will speak(AY) in praise of the Lord.
    Let every creature(AZ) praise his holy name(BA)
    for ever and ever.
