Psalms 20

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova arogwĩtĩka rĩrĩa ũrĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ; rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wa Jakubu rĩrokũgitĩra.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;

Arokũrehere ũteithio kuuma handũ harĩa hake haamũre, na agũtiirĩrĩre arĩ kũu Zayuni.

3 May he remember all thy meat-offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

Aroririkana magongona maku mothe, na etĩkĩre maruta maku ma njino.

4 May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.

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 will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill 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 I know that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, 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 invoke 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 prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.

Makurumaga makagũa thĩ, no ithuĩ tũrũgamaga tũkehaanda.

9 O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].

Wee Jehova, honokia mũthamaki! Twĩtĩkage rĩrĩa twagũkaĩra!
