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.

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a reponn ou lè ou anba tray. Se pou Bondye Jakòb la pwoteje ou.

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

Se pou l' rete lakay li pou l' voye ede ou. Se pou l' rete sou mòn Siyon an pou l' soutni ou.

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

Se pou l' chonje tou sa ou ofri ba li, pou l' kontan tou bèt ou fè touye pou li.

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

Se pou l' ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen. Se pou l' fè tou sa ou gen lide fè rive vre.

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

Lè sa a, n'ap rele, n'ap kontan dèske ou genyen batay la. N'ap fè fèt paske ou genyen batay la, n'ap fè lwanj Bondye nou an. Se pou Seyè a ba ou tou sa ou mande l'.

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.

Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a ap fè moun li chwazi a genyen batay la. Li rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki pou li a, li reponn li. Li fè l' genyen batay la avèk gwo pouvwa li.

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

Gen moun ki mete konfyans yo nan machin pou fè lagè. Gen lòt moun, se nan chwal yo yo mete konfyans yo. Men nou menm, se nan pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou.

8 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

Yo menm, yo gen pou yo bite, pou yo tonbe. Men nou menm, nou kanpe, n'ap kenbe fèm.

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

Seyè, fè wa a genyen batay la non! Reponn nou non, lè n'ap rele ou!
