Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

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

He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

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

He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

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

He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

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

We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills 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 have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His 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 of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

They have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves 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 YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
