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;

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Sengathi uThixo angakuphendula nxa usenkathazweni; sengathi ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe lingakuvikela.

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

Sengathi angakuthumela usizo luvela endlini engcwele njalo akunike ukuhlomulela kuvela eZiyoni.

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

Sengathi angakhumbula yonke imihlatshelo yakho njalo emukele iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa.

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

Sengathi angakupha isifiso senhliziyo yakho enze izimiso zakho zonke ziphumelele.

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.

Sizamemeza ngokujabula lapho usunqobile, siphakamise uphawu lwethu egameni likaNkulunkulu wethu. Sengathi uThixo angakupha zonke izicelo zakho.

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.

Manje sengisazi ukuthi uThixo uyamhlenga ogcotshiweyo wakhe; uyamphendula esezulwini lakhe elingcwele ngamandla Akhe asindisayo awesandla Sakhe sokunene.

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

Abanye bathemba izinqola zempi, abanye amabhiza, kodwa thina sithemba ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.

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

Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.

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

Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!
