Amahubo 20

1 INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

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

May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

4 Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

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

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

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

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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

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

8 Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

9 Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.

O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
