Masalimo 20

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Yehova akuyankhe pamene uli pa msautso; dzina la Mulungu wa Yakobo likuteteze.

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 Iye atumize thandizo kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika; akugwirizize kuchokera ku Ziyoni.

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

3 Iye akumbukire nsembe zako zonse ndipo alandire nsembe zako zopsereza. (Sela)

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

4 Akupatse chokhumba cha mtima wako ndipo akuthandize kuti zonse wakonza zichitike.

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

5 Ife tidzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene iwe wapambana ndipo tidzanyamula mbendera zathu mʼdzina la Mulungu wathu, Yehova ayankhe zopempha zako zonse.

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

6 Tsopano ndadziwa kuti Yehova amapulumutsa wodzozedwa wake; Iye amamuyankha kuchokera kumwamba ku malo ake opatulika ndi mphamvu yopulumutsa ya dzanja lake lamanja.

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 Ena amadalira magaleta ndipo ena akavalo koma ife tidzadalira dzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.

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

8 Iwo amagonjetsedwa ndi kugwa, koma ife timadzuka ndi kuyima chilili.

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

9 Inu Yehova, pulumutsani mfumu! Tiyankheni pamene tikuyitanani!

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