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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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