Psalms 20

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Ma Ihowa e whakahoki he kupu ki a koe i te ra o te he; ma te ingoa o te Atua o Hakopa koe e tiaki;

2 He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

Mana e tono mai he awhina mou i te wahi tapu, e whakau hoki koe i Hiona;

3 He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

Mana e mahara ki au whakahere katoa, e manako ki au tahunga tinana. (Hera)

4 He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

Mana e homai ki a koe ta tou ngakau e mea ai, e whakamana katoa hoki tau e wawata ai.

5 We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

Ka hari matou ki tau whakaoranga, ka whakatu hoki i o matou kara i runga i te ingoa o to matou Atua: ma Ihowa e whakarite au inoi katoa.

6 Now I have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Katahi ahau ka matau e whakaora ana a Ihowa i tana tangata i whakawahi ai, ka whakahoki kupu ia ki a ia i tona rangi tapu, me te kaha ano tona ringa matau ki te whakaora.

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

Ko ta etahi he hariata, ko ta etahi he hoiho: ko tatou ia ka whakahua i te ingoa o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.

8 They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

Kua piko ratou, kua hinga: ko tatou ia kua ara, kua tu ki runga.

9 O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!

Whakaorangia, e Ihowa: kia whakahoki kupu mai te Kingi ina karanga matou.
