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.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ongoʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; ke maluʻi koe ʻe he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope;

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

‌ʻO fekau hoʻo tokoni mei he faletapu, mo fakamālohi koe mei Saione;

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

‌ʻO manatuʻi hoʻo meʻa foaki kotoa pē, pea finangalo lelei ki hoʻo feilaulau tutu; (Sila)

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

Pea foaki kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto, ʻo fakahoko ʻaia ʻoku ke fakakaukau ki ai.

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.

Te mau fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea ʻi he huafa ʻo homau ʻOtua te mau fokotuʻu ʻemau ngaahi fuka: ke tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kole kotoa pē.

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.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene pani; te ne ongoʻi ia mei hono potu toputapu māʻoniʻoni ʻaki ʻae mālohi fakamoʻui ʻo hono nima toʻomataʻu.

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

‌ʻOku falala ʻae niʻihi ki he ngaahi saliote, mo e niʻihi ki he fanga hoosi: ka te tau manatuʻi ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.

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

Kuo lī ki lalo ʻo tō ʻakinautolu: ka kuo tau tuʻuhake, ʻo tuʻu ki ʻolunga.

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

‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakamoʻui ʻae tuʻi ke ke ongoʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi heʻemau ui atu.
