Zaburi 20

1 Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mungu akusaidie wakati wa shida; na jina la Mungu wa Yakobo likulinde

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 kutuma msaada kutoka mahali patakatifu kwa ajili ya kukutegemeza wewe kutoka Sayuni.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

3 Naye akumbuke sadaka yako yote na kuipokea sadaka ya kuteketezwa.

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

4 Naye akujalie haja za moyo wako na kutimiza mipango yako yote.

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

5 Ndipo tutakapo shangilia katika ushindi wako, na, katika jina la Mungu wetu, tutapeperusha bendera. Yahwe naakupe maombi yako yote ya haki.

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

6 Sasa ninajua ya kuwa Yahwe atawaokoa wapakwa mafuta wake; yeye atamjibu yeye kutoka katika mbingu takatifu kwa uweza wa mkono wake wa kuume ambao waweza kumuokoa yeye.

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 Baadhi hamini katika magari na wengine katika farasi, lakini sisi tumuita Yahwe Mungu wetu.

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

8 Wao watashushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tutainuka na kusimama wima!

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

9 Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.

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