Psalms 20

1 Fún adarí orin. Saamu ti Dafidi. Kí Olúwa kí ó gbóhùn rẹ ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú; kí orúkọ Ọlọ́run Jakọbu kí ó dáàbò bò ọ́.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

2 Kí ó rán ìrànlọ́wọ́ sí ọ, láti ibi mímọ́ kí ó sì tì ọ́ lẹ́yìn láti Sioni wá.

May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

3 Kí ó sì rántí gbogbo ẹbọ rẹ kí ó sì gba ẹbọ sísun rẹ. (Sela)

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

4 Kí ó fi fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bi ti èrò ọkàn rẹ kí ó sì mú gbogbo ìmọ̀ rẹ ṣẹ.

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

5 Àwa yóò hó fún ayọ̀ nígbà tí o bá di aṣẹ́gun àwa yóò gbé àsíá wa sókè ní orúkọ Ọlọ́run wa. Kí Olúwa kí ó mú gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀ ṣẹ.

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

6 Nísinsin yìí, èmi mọ̀ wí pé, Olúwa pa ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀ mọ́. Yóò gbọ́ láti ọ̀run mímọ́ rẹ̀ wá pẹ̀lú agbára ìgbàlà ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

7 Àwọn mìíràn gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé kẹ̀kẹ́, àwọn mìíràn gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé ẹṣin, ṣùgbọ́n àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Wọ́n wólẹ̀, ní eékún, wọ́n sì ṣubú, ṣùgbọ́n àwa dìde, a sì dúró ṣinṣin.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

9 Olúwa, fi ìṣẹ́gun fún ọba! Dá wa lóhùn nígbà tí a bá ń kígbe pè!

Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
