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,

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

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

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

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

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

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

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

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

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
