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 Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

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

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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 triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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 know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
