Nnwom 20

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

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

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant thee thy heart’s desire, and fulfill all thy 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 will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.

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 know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he wilt answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength 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 [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will make mention of 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 bowed down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

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

Save, LORD: let the King answer us when we call.
