< Psalms 20 >
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Yehova akuyankhe pamene uli pa msautso; dzina la Mulungu wa Yakobo likuteteze.
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.
Iye atumize thandizo kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika; akugwirizize kuchokera ku Ziyoni.
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)
Iye akumbukire nsembe zako zonse ndipo alandire nsembe zako zopsereza. (Sela)
4 Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.
Akupatse chokhumba cha mtima wako ndipo akuthandize kuti zonse wakonza zichitike.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.
Ife tidzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene iwe wapambana ndipo tidzanyamula mbendera zathu mʼdzina la Mulungu wathu, Yehova ayankhe zopempha zako zonse.
6 Now I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
Tsopano ndadziwa kuti Yehova amapulumutsa wodzozedwa wake; Iye amamuyankha kuchokera kumwamba ku malo ake opatulika ndi mphamvu yopulumutsa ya dzanja lake lamanja.
7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Ena amadalira magaleta ndipo ena akavalo koma ife tidzadalira dzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright.
Iwo amagonjetsedwa ndi kugwa, koma ife timadzuka ndi kuyima chilili.
9 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
Inu Yehova, pulumutsani mfumu! Tiyankheni pamene tikuyitanani!
