Psalmowo 20

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 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.

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

6 Azɔ menya be Yehowa ɖe eƒe amesiamina, etɔ nɛ tso eƒe nɔƒe kɔkɔe la kple eƒe nuɖusi ƒe ŋusẽ, si wòtsɔna ɖea amee.

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.

7 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.

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

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

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

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

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