Psalms 20

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

David ƒe ha na hɛnɔ la. Yehowa netɔ na wò ne èɖo xaxa me; Yakob ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ nanye ŋuwòdzɔla.

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

Neɖo kpekpeɖeŋu ɖe wò tso kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòaɖo xɔname ɖe wò tso Zion.

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

Neɖo ŋku wò vɔsawo katã dzi, eye wòaxɔ wò numevɔsawo. (Sela)

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Nena nu si wò dzi di la wò, eye wòana wò ɖoɖowo katã nadze edzi na wò.

5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

Míado dzidzɔɣli ne èɖu dzi, eye míakɔ míaƒe aflagawo dzi le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ me. Yehowa awɔ nu siwo katã nèbiae la na wò.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

Azɔ menya be Yehowa ɖe eƒe amesiamina, etɔ nɛ tso eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔe la kple eƒe nuɖusi ƒe ŋusẽ, si wòtsɔna ɖea amee.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Ame aɖewo ɖoa ŋu ɖe tasiaɖamwo ŋu, eye ame aɖewo ɖoa dzi ɖe sɔwo ŋu, ke míawo ya míeɖo dzi ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ ŋu.

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

Ame mawo la, wodzea klo, eye wodzea anyi, ke míawo ya, míenɔa tsitre, eye míedzɔna kã.

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

O! Yehowa, xɔ na fia la! Tɔ na mí ne míeyɔ wò!
