Masalimo 20

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Jehovah grant all your requests.

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

Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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 trust the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Inu Yehova, pulumutsani mfumu! Tiyankheni pamene tikuyitanani!

Save, Jehovah. Let the King answer us when we call.
