Psalms 20

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in 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 the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

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

3 May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

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

4 May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

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

5 May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

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 the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful 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 some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

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 down, but we rise and stand up.

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

9 May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!

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