Psalmi 20

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Uslišio te Jahve u dan nevolje, štitilo te ime Boga Jakovljeva!

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

2 Poslao ti pomoć iz Svetišta, branio te sa Siona!

May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

3 Spomenuo se svih ti prinosnica, bila mu mila paljenica tvoja!

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

4 Udijelio ti što ti srce želi, ispunio sve namisli tvoje!

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

5 Radovali se tvojoj pobjedi, u ime Boga svoga dizali stjegove! Ispunio Jahve svaku molbu tvoju!

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

6 Znam evo: Jahve će pobjedu dati svom pomazaniku, uslišit ga iz svetih nebesa snagom pobjedne desnice svoje.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

7 Jedni se hvale kolima bojnim, drugi konjima, mi imenom Jahve, Boga našega!

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Oni posrću i padaju, mi se držimo i stojimo.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

9 Jahve, daruj pobjedu kralju, usliši nas u dan kad te zazovemo!

Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
