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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May Jehovah answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May Jehovah grant all your requests.

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 Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 trust 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 rise up, and stand upright.

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

Save, Jehovah. Let the King answer us when we call.
