Psalms 20

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The Lord heare thee in the day of trouble: the name of ye God of Iaakob defend thee:

INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

2 Send thee helpe from the Sanctuarie, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

3 Let him remember all thine offerings, and turne thy burnt offerings into asshes. (Selah)

Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)

4 And graunt thee according to thine heart, and fulfill all thy purpose:

Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

5 That we may reioyce in thy saluation, and set vp the banner in the Name of our God, when the Lord shall performe all thy petitions.

Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.

6 Now know I that the Lord will helpe his anointed, and will heare him from his Sanctuarie, by the mightie helpe of his right hand.

Sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi isindisa ogcotshiweyo wayo; izamphendula isemazulwini ayo angcwele ngamandla asindisayo esandla sayo sokunene.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the Name of ye Lord our God.

Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

8 They are brought downe and fallen, but we are risen, and stand vpright.

Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

9 Saue Lord: let the King heare vs in the day that we call.

Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
