Zaburi 20

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

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 strengthen you out of Zion;

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

Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.

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

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill 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 know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven 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 trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

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

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
