Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye dwoki ka in e chandruok; mad nying Nyasach Jakobo riti.

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

Mad oorni kony moa kare maler mar lemo kendo omiyi kony moa Sayun.

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

Mad opar misengni magi duto kendo oyie gi misengini miwangʼo pep magi. (Sela)

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

Mad omiyi gima chunyi gombo kendo omi chenro magi duto odhi maber.

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

Wabiro kok gimor ka ilocho kendo wabiro tingʼo bendechwa malo e nying Nyasachwa. Mad Jehova Nyasaye chiw gik moko duto mikwaye.

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Koro angʼeyo ni Jehova Nyasaye reso ngʼate mowir; odwoke gie kare maler mar lemo manie polo, gi teko ma waro ji mar lwete ma korachwich.

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

Jomoko ogeno kuom gechegi to jomoko kuom faresegi, to wan to wageno kuom nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa.

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

Gibiro lwar e chonggi mi gipodhi, to wan wabiro aa malo mi wachungʼ motegno.

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, reswa ruoth! Dwokwa ka waluongi!
