Psalms 21

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

Dawid dwom. Ao Awurade, ɔhene no anigye wɔ wʼahoɔden mu. Nʼani gye mmorosoɔ wɔ nkonimdie a wo ma no nti!

2 You have granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

Woama no deɛ nʼakoma pɛ; woamfa nʼabisadeɛ ankame no.

3 For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

Wode nhyira a ɛdi mu hyiaa no na wode sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ahenkyɛ hyɛɛ no.

4 He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days for ever and ever.

Ɔbisaa wo hɔ nkwa, na wode maa no, nna tentene a ɛnni awieeɛ.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

Nkonimdie a woma no enti, nʼanimuonyam so; wode kɛseyɛ ne anidie adom no.

6 For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

Ampa ara, woama no nhyira a ɛnsa da na wo nsrahwɛ ama me ho ahosɛpɛ me.

7 For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

Ɔhene no de ne ho to Awurade so; Ɔsorosoroni no nokorɛ dɔ no enti, Ɔhene renhinhim.

8 Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

Wo nsa bɛka wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa; wo nsa nifa bɛsɔ wɔn a wɔkyiri woɔ mu.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

Ɛberɛ a wobɛyi wo ho adi no wobɛyɛ wɔn sɛ fononoo a emu adɔ. Awurade firi nʼabufuhyeɛ mu bɛmene wɔn, na ne ogya no ahye wɔn.

10 You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [amongst] the sons of men.

Wobɛtɔre wɔn ase wɔ asase so, na wɔn asefoɔ afiri adasamma mu.

11 For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

Ɛwom sɛ wɔbɔ pɔ tia wo na wɔyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ bɔne, nanso wɔrenni nkonim;

12 For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

ɛfiri sɛ wobɛma wɔasane wɔn akyi ɛberɛ a woatwe bɛmma akyerɛ wɔn so.

13 Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.

Yɛma wo so, Ao Awurade, wɔ wʼahoɔden mu; yɛbɛto nnwom na yɛakamfo wo kɛseyɛ. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ. Wɔto no sɛdeɛ wɔto “Adekyeeɛ foroteɛ” dwom.
