Amahubo 20

1 INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

2 Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

4 Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

9 Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
