Psalms 20

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih saam laa. Dawnrai hoi na oh naah Angraeng mah na lok tahngai pae nasoe loe, Jakob ih Sithaw ahmin mah na pakaa nasoe.

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

Hmuenciim hoiah nang abomh hanah patoeh nasoe loe, Zion hoiah thacakhaih na paek nasoe.

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

Na tathlang ih hmuennawk boih panoek nasoe loe, na sak ih angbawnhaih to talawk nasoe.

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Na koehhaih palungthin baktih toengah, na paek nasoe loe, na poekhaihnawk boih acungsak nasoe.

5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

Na pahlonghaih pongah kang hoe o moe, aicae Sithaw ih ahmin hoiah pazawkhaih kahni ka payang o han: na hnik ih hmuennawk boih Angraeng mah na paek nasoe.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

A qoih ih kami loe Angraeng mah pahlong; thacak pahlonghaih a bantang ban hoiah anih ih lok to angmah ih kaciim van hoiah tahngai pae, tiah vaihi ka panoek boeh.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Thoemto kaminawk loe hrangleengnawk to oep o, thoemto kaminawk loe hrangnawk to oep o: toe kaicae loe kaimacae Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin ni ka oep o.

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

Nihcae loe lu takhum o moe, amtim o: toe kaicae loe angthawk o moe, kacakah kang doet o.

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

Aw Angraeng, pahlong ah! Kang kawk o naah siangpahrang mah pathim nasoe.
