Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

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

May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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

We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

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

Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength 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 glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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!

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
