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,

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.

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

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.

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

Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.

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

Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.

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.

Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

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

Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.

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

Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.

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

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
