Faarfannaa 20

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo deebii siif haa kennu; maqaan Waaqa Yaaqoobis si haa eegu.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Inni iddoo qulqulluudhaa gargaarsa siif haa ergu; Xiyoon irraas jabina siif haa kennu.

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3 Aarsaa kee hunda siif haa yaadatu; qalma kee kan gubamus siif haa fudhatu.

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

4 Hawwii garaa keetii siif haa kennu; karoora kee hundas fiixaan siif haa baasu.

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5 Yommuu ati moʼattutti ililchinee maqaa Waaqa keenyaatiin faajjii keenya ol fudhanna. Waaqayyo waan ati kadhattu hundumaa siif haa kennu.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6 Ani akka Waaqayyo dibamaa isaa fayyisu amma beeka; Waaqayyo humna nama fayyisu kan harka isaa mirgaa keessa jiru sanaan samii isaa qulqulluu keessaa deebii ni kennaaf.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 Namoonni tokko tokko gaariiwwan amanatu; kaan immoo fardeen amanatu; nu garuu maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa amananna.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Isaan gufatanii kufu; nu garuu ol kaana; jabaannees ni dhaabanna.

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati mootiidhaaf moʼannaa kenni! Yommuu nu si waammannuttis deebii nuu kenni!

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
