Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Herren bønhøre dig paa Nødens Dag! Jakobs Guds Navn ophøje dig!

May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

3 Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen og understøtte dig fra Zion!

May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

4 Han ihukomme alle dine Madofre, og dit Brændoffer finde han fedt! (Sela)

May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

5 Han give dig efter dit Hjerte og opfylde alle dine Anslag!

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

6 Saa ville vi synge om din Frelse og i vor Guds Navn oprejse Banner; Herren opfylde alle dine Begæringer!

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

7 Nu ved jeg, at Herren frelser sin Salvede, han vil bønhøre ham fra sin hellige Himmel; ved hans frelsende højre Haands vældige Gerninger.

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

8 Disse forlade sig paa Vogne og disse paa Heste; men vi ville prise Herren vor Guds Navn.

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

9 De have maattet bøje sig og ere faldne; men vi staa og holde os oprejste. Frels, Herre! Kongen bønhøre os den Dag, vi raabe!

O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
