Amahubo 20

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 Bafuqelwa phansi bawe, kodwa thina siyaphakama sime sigxile.

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

9 Oh Thixo, sindisa inkosi! Sabela lapho simemeza!

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