Saame 20

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ongoʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; ke maluʻi koe ʻe he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope;

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

2 ‌ʻO fekau hoʻo tokoni mei he faletapu, mo fakamālohi koe mei Saione;

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

3 ‌ʻO manatuʻi hoʻo meʻa foaki kotoa pē, pea finangalo lelei ki hoʻo feilaulau tutu; (Sila)

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

4 Pea foaki kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto, ʻo fakahoko ʻaia ʻoku ke fakakaukau ki ai.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 Te mau fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui, pea ʻi he huafa ʻo homau ʻOtua te mau fokotuʻu ʻemau ngaahi fuka: ke tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kole kotoa pē.

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

6 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene pani; te ne ongoʻi ia mei hono potu toputapu māʻoniʻoni ʻaki ʻae mālohi fakamoʻui ʻo hono nima toʻomataʻu.

Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 ‌ʻOku falala ʻae niʻihi ki he ngaahi saliote, mo e niʻihi ki he fanga hoosi: ka te tau manatuʻi ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Kuo lī ki lalo ʻo tō ʻakinautolu: ka kuo tau tuʻuhake, ʻo tuʻu ki ʻolunga.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakamoʻui ʻae tuʻi ke ke ongoʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi heʻemau ui atu.

Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
