Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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 will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are 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 the day that we shall call upon thee.
