< Psalms 20 >
1 The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;
INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.
2 Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;
Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.
3 Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; (Selah)
Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)
4 Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.
Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.
5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.
6 Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength 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 the LORD our God.
Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
