Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 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 fulfil 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 fulfil all thy petitions.

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

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth 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.
