Nnwom 20

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

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

He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

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

He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

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

He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

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

We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

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 I have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might 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 of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

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

O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
