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.

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

2 May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

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

3 May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

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

4 May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

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

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.

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

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.

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 trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

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

8 They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

Nibokoke iereo naho nikorovoke mitroatse zahay vaho mijohañe.

9 May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!

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