Amahubo 20

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Sengathi uThixo angakuphendula nxa usenkathazweni; sengathi ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe lingakuvikela.

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may 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 defend thee out of Sion.

3 Sengathi angakhumbula yonke imihlatshelo yakho njalo emukele iminikelo yakho yokutshiswa.

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

4 Sengathi angakupha isifiso senhliziyo yakho enze izimiso zakho zonke ziphumelele.

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

5 Sizamemeza ngokujabula lapho usunqobile, siphakamise uphawu lwethu egameni likaNkulunkulu wethu. Sengathi uThixo angakupha zonke izicelo zakho.

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

6 Manje sengisazi ukuthi uThixo uyamhlenga ogcotshiweyo wakhe; uyamphendula esezulwini lakhe elingcwele ngamandla Akhe asindisayo awesandla Sakhe sokunene.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

7 Abanye bathemba izinqola zempi, abanye amabhiza, kodwa thina sithemba ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

8 Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

9 Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
