Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Dawid dwom. Awurade ntie wo wɔ wʼahohia mu; Yakob Onyankopɔn din mmɔ wo ho ban.

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

Ɔmfa mmoa mfiri kronkronbea hɔ mmrɛ wo na ɔmfiri Sion mmɛhyɛ wo den.

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

Ɔnkae wʼafɔrebɔ nyinaa na ɔmma wo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ nsɔ nʼani.

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

Ɔmma wo deɛ wʼakoma pɛ, na wo nhyehyɛeɛ nyinaa nyɛ yie.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

Yɛbɛbɔ ose ɛberɛ a woadi nkonim na yɛama yɛn frankaa so wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn din mu. Awurade nyɛ wʼabisadeɛ nyinaa mma wo.

6 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

Afei mahunu sɛ Awurade gye deɛ wasra no no nkwa; ɔgye no so wɔ ne soro kronkron hɔ ɔde tumi a ɛfiri ne nsa nifa mu no ma no nkwagyeɛ.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

Ebinom de wɔn ho to wɔn nteaseɛnam so na afoforɔ nso, wɔn apɔnkɔ so, nanso yɛn deɛ, yɛde yɛn ho to Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn din so.

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

Saa nkurɔfoɔ no, wɔbrɛ wɔn ase ma wɔhwehwe ase, na yɛn deɛ, yɛsɔre gyina pintinn.

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.

Ao Awurade gye ɔhene nkwa! Na sɛ yɛfrɛ nso a, gye yɛn so. Wɔde ma dwomkyerɛfoɔ.
