Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren. En Salme 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 Paa Trængselens Dag bønhøre HERREN dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

3 Han sende dig Hjælp fra Helligdommen, fra Zion styrke han dig;

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

4 han komme alle dine Afgrødeofre i Hu og tage dit Brændoffer gyldigt! (Sela)

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 Han give dig efter dit Hjertes Attraa, han fuldbyrde alt dit Raad,

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 at vi maa juble over din Frelse, løfte Banner i vor Guds Navn! HERREN opfylde alle dine Bønner!

Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Nu ved jeg, at HERREN frelser sin Salvede og svarer ham fra sin hellige Himmel med sin højres frelsende Vælde.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Nogle stoler paa Heste, andre paa Vogne, vi sejrer ved HERREN vor Guds Navn.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 De synker i Knæ og falder, vi rejser os og kommer atter paa Fode. HERRE, frels dog Kongen og svar os, den Dag vi kalder!

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