Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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

6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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 are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are 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 in the day that we shall call upon thee.

Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, reswa ruoth! Dwokwa ka waluongi!
