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,

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

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

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

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

Sengathi angakhumbula yonke imihlatshelo yakho njalo emukele iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa.

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

Sengathi angakupha isifiso senhliziyo yakho enze izimiso zakho zonke ziphumelele.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.

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

Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!
