< Psalms 20 >

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Tika ete Yawe ayanola yo na tango ya pasi; tika ete Nzambe ya Jakobi azala ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobatela yo.
2 May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.
Tika ete asunga yo wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule mpe apesa yo makasi wuta na Siona.
3 May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)
Tika ete akanisa makabo na yo nyonso mpe andima mbeka na yo ya kotumba.
4 May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.
Tika ete akokisa posa ya motema na yo mpe mabongisi na yo nyonso.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.
Tokoganga na esengo mpo na lobiko na Yo mpe tokotombola bendele na Kombo ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe akokisa bisengeli na Yo nyonso.
6 Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.
Nayebi sik’oyo ete Yawe abikisaka mopakolami na Ye, ayanolaka ye wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule kati na Lola, na nzela ya nguya ya loboko na Ye ya mobali.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.
Bamoko batiaka elikya na bango kati na bashar, bamosusu, kati na bampunda; kasi biso totiaka elikya na biso kati na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
8 They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.
Bango, bafukamaka mpe bakweyaka; kasi biso, tozalaka kaka ya kotelema mpe totikalaka ngwi.
9 May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!
Yawe, bikisa mokonzi! Yanola biso tango tozali kobelela.
