Psalms 20

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

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

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and aid thee out of Sion.

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

3 Remember all thy sacrifice, and enrich thy whole-burnt-offering. (Pause)

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

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.

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

5 We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all thy 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 has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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 [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory 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 are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

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

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon thee.

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