Nnwom 20

1 Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo. Dawid dwom. Awurade ntie wo wɔ wʼahohia mu; Yakob Nyankopɔn din mmɔ wo ho ban.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

2 Ɔmfa mmoa mfi kronkronbea hɔ mmrɛ wo, na omfi Sion mmɛhyɛ wo den.

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

3 Ɔnkae wʼafɔrebɔ nyinaa, na ɔmma wo hyew afɔre nsɔ nʼani.

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Ɔmma wo nea wo koma pɛ, na wo nhyehyɛe nyinaa nyɛ yiye.

Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.

5 Yɛbɛbɔ ose bere a woadi nkonim, na yɛama yɛn frankaa so wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn din mu. Awurade nyɛ wʼabisade nyinaa mma wo.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Afei mahu sɛ Awurade ma nea wasra no no nkonimdi, ofi ne kronkronbea wɔ ɔsoro gye no so, ɔde ne nkonimdi tumi a ɛwɔ ne nsa nifa mu no.

Now I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Ebinom de wɔn ho to wɔn nteaseɛnam so na afoforo nso, wɔn apɔnkɔ so, nanso yɛn de, yɛde yɛn ho to Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn din so.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 Wɔbrɛ wɔn ase ma wɔhwehwe ase, na yɛn de, yɛsɔre gyina kirebenn.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright.

9 Awurade, ma ɔhene nkonimdi! Yɛfrɛ a, gye yɛn so!

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
