Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

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

May the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

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

May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

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

May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

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

May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

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

Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.

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 war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

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

They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

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!

May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!
