Amahubo 20

1 INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

2 Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and aid thee out of Sion.

3 Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)

Remember all thy sacrifice, and enrich thy whole-burnt-offering. (Pause)

4 Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfill all thy desire.

5 Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.

We will exult in thy salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.

6 Sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi isindisa ogcotshiweyo wayo; izamphendula isemazulwini ayo angcwele ngamandla asindisayo esandla sayo sokunene.

Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

7 Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

They are overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set upright.

9 Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.

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