Psalms 20

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

2 He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

3 He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

4 He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Jehovah grant all your requests.

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

6 Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Jehovah our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

9 Save, Jehovah. Let the King answer us when we call.

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
