Psalms 20

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

Hanoiñ’azo an-tsan-kasotriañe t’Iehovà, hañonjoñ’ azo ankaboañe ey ty tahinan’ Añahare’ Iakobe.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Hañitrifa’e imba boak’amy toe-miavakey hanohañ’ azo hirik’e Tsiône ao.

3 Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

Ho tiahi’e o enga-mahakama iabio, vaho hiantofa’e o fisoroña’oo! Selà

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

Hatolots’ azo ze salalan’ arofo’o le ho henefeñe iaby o ereñere’oo.

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

Ho poñafe’ay rebeke ty fandrombaha’o, ty tahinan’Añahare’ay ro añelahelà’ay kobaiñe; ho henefa’ Iehovà abey o halali’oo.

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Apotako henaneo, te ho rombahe’ Iehovà i noriza’ey; ho toiñe’e boak’ an-dindi’e masiñe ao, amy haozaram-pandrombaha’ i fitàn-kavana’eiy.

7 Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

Miato an-tsarete o ila’eo, an-tsoavala ka ty ila’e; fa ho tiahi’ay ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.

8 They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

Nibokoke iereo naho nikorovoke mitroatse zahay vaho mijohañe.

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

Rombaho, ry Iehovà; hanoiñe abey i mpanjakay te kanjie’ay!
