< Psalms 20 >
1 THE Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova arogwĩtĩka rĩrĩa ũrĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ; rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wa Jakubu rĩrokũgitĩra.
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
Arokũrehere ũteithio kuuma handũ harĩa hake haamũre, na agũtiirĩrĩre arĩ kũu Zayuni.
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)
Aroririkana magongona maku mothe, na etĩkĩre maruta maku ma njino.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
Arokũhe maũndũ marĩa ngoro yaku ĩĩrirĩirie, na atũme mĩbango yaku yothe ĩgaacĩre.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
Rĩrĩa ũkaahootana nĩtũkoigĩrĩria na gĩkeno, na tuoye bendera ciitũ na igũrũ nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai witũ. Jehova arokũhingĩria maũndũ marĩa mothe ũmũhooete.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
Rĩu nĩmenyete atĩ Jehova nĩahonokagia ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta; nĩamwĩtĩkaga arĩ kũu igũrũ rĩake rĩamũre, arĩ na ũhoti wa kũhonokania ũrĩa ũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
Andũ amwe mehokaga ngaari cia ita, na angĩ makehoka mbarathi, no ithuĩ twĩhokaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai witũ.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
Makurumaga makagũa thĩ, no ithuĩ tũrũgamaga tũkehaanda.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
Wee Jehova, honokia mũthamaki! Twĩtĩkage rĩrĩa twagũkaĩra!
