< Amahubo 20 >
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Sengathi uThixo angakuphendula nxa usenkathazweni; sengathi ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe lingakuvikela.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;
2 Sengathi angakuthumela usizo luvela endlini engcwele njalo akunike ukuhlomulela kuvela eZiyoni.
May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Sengathi angakhumbula yonke imihlatshelo yakho njalo emukele iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa.
Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)
4 Sengathi angakupha isifiso senhliziyo yakho enze izimiso zakho zonke ziphumelele.
Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.
5 Sizamemeza ngokujabula lapho usunqobile, siphakamise uphawu lwethu egameni likaNkulunkulu wethu. Sengathi uThixo angakupha zonke izicelo zakho.
We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!
6 Manje sengisazi ukuthi uThixo uyamhlenga ogcotshiweyo wakhe; uyamphendula esezulwini lakhe elingcwele ngamandla Akhe asindisayo awesandla Sakhe sokunene.
Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Abanye bathemba izinqola zempi, abanye amabhiza, kodwa thina sithemba ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.
Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.
8 Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.
They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.
9 Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!
Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
