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.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Tika ete Yawe ayanola yo na tango ya pasi; tika ete Nzambe ya Jakobi azala ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobatela yo.

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

Tika ete asunga yo wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule mpe apesa yo makasi wuta na Siona.

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

Tika ete akanisa makabo na yo nyonso mpe andima mbeka na yo ya kotumba.

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

Tika ete akokisa posa ya motema na yo mpe mabongisi na yo nyonso.

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.

Tokoganga na esengo mpo na lobiko na Yo mpe tokotombola bendele na Kombo ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe akokisa bisengeli na Yo nyonso.

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.

Nayebi sik’oyo ete Yawe abikisaka mopakolami na Ye, ayanolaka ye wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule kati na Lola, na nzela ya nguya ya loboko na Ye ya mobali.

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

Bamoko batiaka elikya na bango kati na bashar, bamosusu, kati na bampunda; kasi biso totiaka elikya na biso kati na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.

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

Bango, bafukamaka mpe bakweyaka; kasi biso, tozalaka kaka ya kotelema mpe totikalaka ngwi.

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

Yawe, bikisa mokonzi! Yanola biso tango tozali kobelela.
