Psalms 20

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. 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 aid you out of Sion.

Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

3 Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)

4 Grant you according to your heart, and fulfill all your desire.

Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

5 We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.

6 Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

Sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi isindisa ogcotshiweyo wayo; izamphendula isemazulwini ayo angcwele ngamandla asindisayo esandla sayo sokunene.

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

Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

8 They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.

Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
