Zaburi 20

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

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 Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

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