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,

Hanoiñ’azo an-tsan-kasotriañe t’Iehovà, hañonjoñ’ azo ankaboañe ey ty tahinan’ Añahare’ Iakobe.

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

Hañitrifa’e imba boak’amy toe-miavakey hanohañ’ azo hirik’e Tsiône ao.

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

Ho tiahi’e o enga-mahakama iabio, vaho hiantofa’e o fisoroña’oo! Selà

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

Hatolots’ azo ze salalan’ arofo’o le ho henefeñe iaby o ereñere’oo.

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

Ho poñafe’ay rebeke ty fandrombaha’o, ty tahinan’Añahare’ay ro añelahelà’ay kobaiñe; ho henefa’ Iehovà abey o halali’oo.

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.

Apotako henaneo, te ho rombahe’ Iehovà i noriza’ey; ho toiñe’e boak’ an-dindi’e masiñe ao, amy haozaram-pandrombaha’ i fitàn-kavana’eiy.

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

Miato an-tsarete o ila’eo, an-tsoavala ka ty ila’e; fa ho tiahi’ay ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.

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

Nibokoke iereo naho nikorovoke mitroatse zahay vaho mijohañe.

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

Rombaho, ry Iehovà; hanoiñe abey i mpanjakay te kanjie’ay!
