Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye dwoki ka in e chandruok; mad nying Nyasach Jakobo riti.

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

Mad oorni kony moa kare maler mar lemo kendo omiyi kony moa Sayun.

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

Mad opar misengni magi duto kendo oyie gi misengini miwangʼo pep magi. (Sela)

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

Mad omiyi gima chunyi gombo kendo omi chenro magi duto odhi maber.

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

Wabiro kok gimor ka ilocho kendo wabiro tingʼo bendechwa malo e nying Nyasachwa. Mad Jehova Nyasaye chiw gik moko duto mikwaye.

6 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

Koro angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye reso ngʼate mowir; odwoke gie kare maler mar lemo manie polo, gi teko ma waro ji mar lwete ma korachwich.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

Jomoko ogeno kuom gechegi to jomoko kuom faresegi, to wan to wageno kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa.

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

Gibiro lwar e chonggi mi gipodhi, to wan wabiro aa malo mi wachungʼ motegno.

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.

Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, reswa ruoth! Dwokwa ka waluongi!
