Psalms 20

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a reponn ou lè ou anba tray. Se pou Bondye Jakòb la pwoteje ou.

2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Se pou l' rete lakay li pou l' voye ede ou. Se pou l' rete sou mòn Siyon an pou l' soutni ou.

3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

Se pou l' chonje tou sa ou ofri ba li, pou l' kontan tou bèt ou fè touye pou li.

4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

Se pou l' ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen. Se pou l' fè tou sa ou gen lide fè rive vre.

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.

Lè sa a, n'ap rele, n'ap kontan dèske ou genyen batay la. N'ap fè fèt paske ou genyen batay la, n'ap fè lwanj Bondye nou an. Se pou Seyè a ba ou tou sa ou mande l'.

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.

Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a ap fè moun li chwazi a genyen batay la. Li rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki pou li a, li reponn li. Li fè l' genyen batay la avèk gwo pouvwa li.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Gen moun ki mete konfyans yo nan machin pou fè lagè. Gen lòt moun, se nan chwal yo yo mete konfyans yo. Men nou menm, se nan pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou.

8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

Yo menm, yo gen pou yo bite, pou yo tonbe. Men nou menm, nou kanpe, n'ap kenbe fèm.

9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.

Seyè, fè wa a genyen batay la non! Reponn nou non, lè n'ap rele ou!
