Sòm 20

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon sòm David Ke SENYÈ a kapab reponn ou nan jou gran twoub la! Ke non Bondye Jacob la kapab kenbe ou ansekirite an wo!

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

2 Ke Li kapab voye bay ou èd soti nan sanktiyè a, epi bay ou soutyen soti nan Sion.

May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

3 Ke Li kapab sonje tout ofrann sereyal ou yo, ke Li twouve tout ofrann brile ou yo byen akseptab!

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

4 Ke Li kapab bay ou dezi a kè ou, e akonpli tout plan ou yo!

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

5 Nou va chante avèk jwa akoz viktwa ou. Nan non Bondye nou an, nou va monte drapo nou yo. Ke SENYÈ a kapab akonpli tout priyè ou yo.

We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

6 Alò, mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va delivre moun onksyone pa Li a. Li va reponn li soti nan syèl sen Li an, avèk delivrans pwisan men dwat Li a.

Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Genyen kèk ki fè konfyans nan cha yo, e kèk nan cheval yo, Men nou va fè konfyans nan non SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Yo te pliye e yo te tonbe, men nou te leve e nou te kanpe dwat.

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

9 Delivre nou O SENYÈ! Ke Wa a kapab reponn nou nan jou ke nou rele Non Li an.

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
