Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

For the end, a Psalm of David. The Lord hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you.

2 Paa Trængselens Dag bønhøre HERREN dig, værne dig Jakobs Guds Navn!

Send you help from the sanctuary, and aid you out of Sion.

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

Remember all your sacrifice, and enrich your whole burnt offering. (Pause)

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

Grant you according to your heart, and fulfil all your desire.

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

We will exult in your salvation, and in the name of our God shall we be magnified: the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

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 has saved his Christ: he shall hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is mighty.

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

Some [glory] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will glory 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 overthrown and fallen: but we are risen, and have been set 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!

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in whatever day we call upon you.
