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.

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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 shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

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

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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.

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
