Zaburi 20

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

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may 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 defend thee out of Sion.

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
