Psalms 20

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ma Ihowa e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe i te ra o te he; ma te ingoa o te Atua o Hakopa koe e tiaki;

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and aid thee out of Sion.

Mana e tono mai he awhina mou i te wahi tapu, e whakau hoki koe i Hiona;

3 Remember all thy sacrifice, and enrich thy whole-burnt-offering. (Pause)

Mana e mahara ki au whakahere katoa, e manako ki au tahunga tinana. (Hera)

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.

Mana e homai ki a koe ta tou ngakau e mea ai, e whakamana katoa hoki tau e wawata ai.

5 We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

Ka hari matou ki tau whakaoranga, ka whakatu hoki i o matou kara i runga i te ingoa o to matou Atua: ma Ihowa e whakarite au inoi katoa.

6 Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

Katahi ahau ka matau e whakaora ana a Ihowa i tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a ia i tona rangi tapu, me te kaha ano tona ringa matau ki te whakaora.

7 Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

Ko ta etahi he hariata, ko ta etahi he hoiho: ko tatou ia ka whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.

8 They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

Kua piko ratou, kua hinga: ko tatou ia kua ara, kua tu ki runga.

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon thee.

Whakaorangia, e Ihowa: kia whakahoki kupu mai te Kingi ina karanga matou.
