Amahubo 20

1 INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

2 Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

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

Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

4 Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

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

We will shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

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

Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will make mention of the name of the LORD 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, LORD; let the King answer us in the day that we call.
