Psalms 20

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

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

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

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

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

Sengathi angakhumbula yonke imihlatshelo yakho njalo emukele iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa.

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

Sengathi angakupha isifiso senhliziyo yakho enze izimiso zakho zonke ziphumelele.

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

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

6 Now I know that YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of YHWH our God.

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

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

Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.

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

Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!
