Psalms 20

1 Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

2 send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

3 remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)

4 grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.

6 Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi isindisa ogcotshiweyo wayo; izamphendula isemazulwini ayo angcwele ngamandla asindisayo esandla sayo sokunene.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

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

Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
