< Psalms 20 >
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.
2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.
Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.
3 Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)
Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.
4 Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.
Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.
5 We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil 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 has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.
Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.
7 Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory 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 are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.
Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.
9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
