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,

IEOWA en kotin mani om kapakap ni ran apwal o; mar en Kot en Iakop en pera uk!

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

A en kotin porone don uk jauaj pam jan nan tanpaj jaraui o kamana uk ada jan nan Jion.

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

A en kotin kupura om mairon karoj, o om mairon ijij en konkon re a.

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

A en kotiki on uk, me monion om anane, o kotin kapaiada om inon karoj.

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.

Je pan nijinijki omui jauaja kit, o ni mar en atail Kot kit pan kida at plak. Ieowa en kotin kapwaiada om poekipoek karoj!

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.

I ap ajaer, me Ieowa kin kotin dorela japwilim a me keiedier, o a pan mani i jan nan japwilim a lan jaraui, lim a pali maun kin jauaja kaualap.

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

Mo kan kin kaporoporeki war o oj akan; a kit kin keleki mar en Ieowa atail Kot.

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

Irail lodier o pupedier, a kit uda o kajinenda.

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

Main kom kotin jauaja nanmarki o, o kotin mani at likwir on komui!
