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.

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a reponn ou lè ou anba tray. Se pou Bondye Jakòb la pwoteje ou.

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

Se pou l' rete lakay li pou l' voye ede ou. Se pou l' rete sou mòn Siyon an pou l' soutni ou.

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

Se pou l' chonje tou sa ou ofri ba li, pou l' kontan tou bèt ou fè touye pou li.

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

Se pou l' ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen. Se pou l' fè tou sa ou gen lide fè rive vre.

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.

Lè sa a, n'ap rele, n'ap kontan dèske ou genyen batay la. N'ap fè fèt paske ou genyen batay la, n'ap fè lwanj Bondye nou an. Se pou Seyè a ba ou tou sa ou mande l'.

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.

Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a ap fè moun li chwazi a genyen batay la. Li rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki pou li a, li reponn li. Li fè l' genyen batay la avèk gwo pouvwa li.

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

Gen moun ki mete konfyans yo nan machin pou fè lagè. Gen lòt moun, se nan chwal yo yo mete konfyans yo. Men nou menm, se nan pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou.

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

Yo menm, yo gen pou yo bite, pou yo tonbe. Men nou menm, nou kanpe, n'ap kenbe fèm.

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

Seyè, fè wa a genyen batay la non! Reponn nou non, lè n'ap rele ou!
