Zaburi 20

1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye dwoki ka in e chandruok; mad nying Nyasach Jakobo riti.

For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Mad oorni kony moa kare maler mar lemo kendo omiyi kony moa Sayun.

May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

3 Mad opar misengni magi duto kendo oyie gi misengini miwangʼo pep magi. (Sela)

May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

4 Mad omiyi gima chunyi gombo kendo omi chenro magi duto odhi maber.

May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

5 Wabiro kok gimor ka ilocho kendo wabiro tingʼo bendechwa malo e nying Nyasachwa. Mad Jehova Nyasaye chiw gik moko duto mikwaye.

May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

6 Koro angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye reso ngʼate mowir; odwoke gie kare maler mar lemo manie polo, gi teko ma waro ji mar lwete ma korachwich.

Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.

7 Jomoko ogeno kuom gechegi to jomoko kuom faresegi, to wan to wageno kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa.

Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

8 Gibiro lwar e chonggi mi gipodhi, to wan wabiro aa malo mi wachungʼ motegno.

They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

9 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, reswa ruoth! Dwokwa ka waluongi!

May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!
