1 Dawid dwom. Awurade ntie wo wɔ wʼahohia mu; Yakob Onyankopɔn 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 mfiri kronkronbea hɔ mmrɛ wo na ɔmfiri Sion mmɛhyɛ wo den.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 afoforɔ nso, wɔn apɔnkɔ so, nanso yɛn deɛ, yɛde yɛn ho to Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn din so.

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

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

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

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