Saa mpaeɛbɔ yi, Habakuk too no sɛ dwom:
Awurade, mate wo ho nsɛm nyinaa,

Ɔhyerɛn sɛ anɔpawia.
Ɛhan no twa ogya firi ne nsam,
Ɛhɔ na ne tumi ahinta.
Ɔyaredɔm di nʼanim kɔ;
Na nsaneyadeɛ di nʼakyi pɛɛ.
Sɛ ɔgyina a, asase woso.
Sɛ ɔhwɛ a, ɔma aman woso.
Tete mmepɔ dwiri,
na nkokoɔ a ɛfiri tete no ka sram so.
Nʼakwan nntwa mu da.
