Amahubo 20

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

2 Sengathi angakuthumela usizo luvela endlini engcwele njalo akunike ukuhlomulela kuvela eZiyoni.

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Jehovah grant all your requests.

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

Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!

Save, Jehovah. Let the King answer us when we call.
