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:

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.

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

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.

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

Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.

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.

Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.

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.

Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

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

Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.

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

Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.

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

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
