Psalms 20

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se pou Seyè a reponn ou lè ou anba tray. Se pou Bondye Jakòb la pwoteje ou.

2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

Se pou l' rete lakay li pou l' voye ede ou. Se pou l' rete sou mòn Siyon an pou l' soutni ou.

3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

Se pou l' chonje tou sa ou ofri ba li, pou l' kontan tou bèt ou fè touye pou li.

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil all your counsel.

Se pou l' ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen. Se pou l' fè tou sa ou gen lide fè rive vre.

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

Lè sa a, n'ap rele, n'ap kontan dèske ou genyen batay la. N'ap fè fèt paske ou genyen batay la, n'ap fè lwanj Bondye nou an. Se pou Seyè a ba ou tou sa ou mande l'.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a ap fè moun li chwazi a genyen batay la. Li rete nan syèl la, nan kay ki pou li a, li reponn li. Li fè l' genyen batay la avèk gwo pouvwa li.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Gen moun ki mete konfyans yo nan machin pou fè lagè. Gen lòt moun, se nan chwal yo yo mete konfyans yo. Men nou menm, se nan pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

Yo menm, yo gen pou yo bite, pou yo tonbe. Men nou menm, nou kanpe, n'ap kenbe fèm.

9 Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!

Seyè, fè wa a genyen batay la non! Reponn nou non, lè n'ap rele ou!
