Nnwom 20

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

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

2 Ɔmfa mmoa mfi kronkronbea hɔ mmrɛ wo, na omfi Sion mmɛhyɛ wo den.

Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

3 Ɔnkae wʼafɔrebɔ nyinaa, na ɔmma wo hyew afɔre nsɔ nʼani.

Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

4 Ɔmma wo nea wo koma pɛ, na wo nhyehyɛe nyinaa nyɛ yiye.

And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

5 Yɛbɛbɔ ose bere a woadi nkonim, na yɛama yɛn frankaa so wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn din mu. Awurade nyɛ wʼabisade nyinaa mma wo.

That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.

6 Afei mahu sɛ Awurade ma nea wasra no no nkonimdi, ofi ne kronkronbea wɔ ɔsoro gye no so, ɔde ne nkonimdi tumi a ɛwɔ ne nsa nifa mu no.

Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.

7 Ebinom de wɔn ho to wɔn nteaseɛnam so na afoforo nso, wɔn apɔnkɔ so, nanso yɛn de, yɛde yɛn ho to Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn din so.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

8 Wɔbrɛ wɔn ase ma wɔhwehwe ase, na yɛn de, yɛsɔre gyina kirebenn.

They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

9 Awurade, ma ɔhene nkonimdi! Yɛfrɛ a, gye yɛn so! Wɔde ma dwonkyerɛfo.

Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.
