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,

INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

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

Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

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

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

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

Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

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

Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
