Amahubo 20

1 INkosi ikuphendule osukwini lokuhlupheka; ibizo likaNkulunkulu kaJakobe likuvikele.

[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.

2 Kayikuthumele usizo oluvela endaweni engcwele, ikusekele iseZiyoni.

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

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

4 Ikunike njengokwenhliziyo yakho, njalo igcwalise icebo lakho lonke.

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

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.

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

Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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

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

8 Bona bakhothanyisiwe bawa, kodwa thina sisukumile simi.

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

9 Jehova, sindisa; inkosi isiphendule osukwini lokukhala kwethu.

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
