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.

Ngaihkyi kawbing na na awm huiawh Bawipa ing nim hlat seitaw; Jacob a Khawsa ang ming ing ni hlip nik chung seh nyng.

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

Ahun caih awhkawng na ham bawmnaak tyi law seitaw Zion awhkawng dylnaak ce ni pe seh nyng.

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

Lucik na sainaak boeih ce sim loet seitaw na hyihphumnaak ce zeel doena do seh nyng.

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

Nak kawlung ngaihnaak ce ni pe seitaw nang cainaakkhqi boeih ce coeng sak seh nyng.

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.

Noengnaak na huh awh zeel doena khy kawng unyng saw ni Khawsa ang ming ing hizan ce hak zoek kawng unyng. Bawipa ing na thoehnaak boeih ce ni pe seh nyng.

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.

Bawipa ing ak thlang tyh ce hul hy ti sim hawh nyng; ak tang ben awhkaw hulnaak tha ing ak khan caih nakawng anih ce hlat hy.

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

Thlang pynoet ing meqang phleng ypna unawh pynoet ing meqangkhqi ypna uhy, cehlai ningnih ingtaw Bawipa ni khawsa ang ming ce ni ypna uhy.

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

Cekkhqi ing amim khuk tawk et nawh tlu hlai uhy, ningnih taw ni hang tho unawh ak cak na ning dyi uhy.

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

Aw Bawipa, sangpahqang ve hul lah! Kaimih ing kamik khy awh nim hlat khqi lah!
