Psalms 20

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

2 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

Kayikhumbule yonke iminikelo yakho, njalo yemukele umnikelo wakho wokutshiswa. (Sela)

4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

Simemeze ngentokozo esindisweni lwakho, lebizweni likaNkulunkulu wethu siphakamise iziboniso! INkosi igcwalise konke ukucela kwakho.

6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

Sengisazi ukuthi iNkosi isindisa ogcotshiweyo wayo; izamphendula isemazulwini ayo angcwele ngamandla asindisayo esandla sayo sokunene.

7 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

Abanye bathembela enqoleni, labanye emabhizeni, kodwa thina sizakhumbula ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.

8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.
