Nnwom 20

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

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

3 Ɔnkae wʼafɔrebɔ nyinaa na ɔmma wo hyeɛ afɔdeɛ nsɔ nʼani.

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

6 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.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

7 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.

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

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
