Zaburi 20

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.

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

2 Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

3 Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.

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

4 Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

5 Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.

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

6 Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

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 Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.

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

8 Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.

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

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

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