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.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.

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

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.

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

Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.

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.

Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.

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.

Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

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

Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.

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

Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.

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

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
