Salme 20

1 Til Sangmesteren. En Salme af David.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The LORD answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;

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

Send forth thy help from the sanctuary, and support thee out of Zion;

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

Receive the memorial of all thy meal-offerings, and accept the fat of thy burnt-sacrifice; (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

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

We will shout for joy in thy victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our standards; the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

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

Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving 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 will make mention of 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 are risen, 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 in the day that we call.
