Psalms 20

1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Yave kavana mvutu bu widi mu ziphasi, bika dizina di Nzambi yi Yakobi dikeba.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

2 Bika kafidisa lusadusu bu kadi ku buangu kinlongo Bika kakindisa bu kadi ku Sioni.

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Bika katebukila makaba maku moso moyo. Ayi kakikinina makaba maku maviku.

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

4 Bika kavana bitidi ntimꞌaku. Ayi bika kanungisa zikhubukulu ziaku zioso.

Grant thee thy heart’s desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

5 Tuela yamikina mu khini bu wela tambula ndungunu. Tuela vumbula bidalapo bieto ku Yilu mu dizina di Nzambi eto. Bika Yave kadukisa zindombolo ziaku zioso.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Buabu nzebi ti Yave wumvukisanga mutu andi wuka vinda mafuta, weti kumvana mvutu bu kadi ku Diyilu, diandi dinlongo mu lusadusu luandi lungolo, lu koko kuandi ku lubakala.

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he wilt answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Bankaka bantulanga diana mu matoma ma mvita, bankaka mu ziphunda. Vayi beto tuntulanga diana mu dizina di Yave, Nzambi eto.

Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will make mention of the name of the LORD our God.

8 Bawu beti fukama mu makuma mawu ayi beti bua; Vayi beto tueti telama ayi tuidi kaka bakinda.

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

9 Yave vukisa ntinu Bika wutuvana mvutu mu thangu tueti tela.

Save, LORD: let the King answer us when we call.
