Psalms 20

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May YHWH answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

2 He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

3 He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

Ɔnkae wʼafɔrebɔ nyinaa na ɔmma wo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ nsɔ nʼani.

4 He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May YHWH grant all your requests.

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

6 Now I know that YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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 trust the name of YHWH 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 are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, YHWH. Let the King answer us when we call.

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