Psalmi 20

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

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
