Psalms 20

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the Jacob’s God protect you,

E HOOLOHE mai o Iehova ia oe i ka la popilikia; I ola oe i ka inoa o ke Akua no Iakoba.

2 sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.

Mai kona keenakapu mai e hoouna mai ai oia i kou mea nana e alu; Mai Ziona mai e kokua mai ai oia ia oe.

3 All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favour. (Selah)

E hoomanao mai hoi i kau mau mohai a pau; A e hoopono mai hoi i kau mohai kuni. (Sila)

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.

E haawi mai hoi e like me kou naau iho, E hooko mai hoi i kou manao a pau.

5 We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request.

I kou ola e hauoli ai makou, A i ka inoa o ko kakou Akua e kau ai kakou i ka hae: E ae mai hoi o Iehova i kau pule a pau.

6 Now I am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand.

Ano ua ike au, ua hoola o Iehova i kona mea i poniia; Ma kona lani hoano no ia e hoolohe mai ai ia ia, Me ka mana o kona lima akau e ola'i.

7 Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.

Ma na kaakaua kekahi poe, ma na lio kekahi i manao ai; Aka, e hoomanao kakou i ka inoa o Iehova o ko kakou Akua.

8 They will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.

Ua emi lakou, ua haule ilalo; Aka, ua ala mai nei makou a ku pono iluna.

9 Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.

E hoola mai, e Iehova; E hoolohe mai ke alii ia makou i ko makou kahea ana.
