Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant 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 his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by 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 [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust 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 are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand 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!

Save, LORD. Let the King answer us when we call.
